provide tax incentives for stay at home parents

I propose that families who file a married filing jointly tax return with dependent children under the age of 19 be allowed a tax incentive in the form of a tax credit for having one parent decline to work and stay at home with children.

You wouldn't create more jobs, but you would create more job openings consequently you would reduce unempoloymet
