Question 4

Government representatives at the IRS attempted to establish a priority workplace family. In other words, they desired a more hospitable IRS. Congressman Watson told the legislature, "We should implement a national family policy that includes legislation forcing employers to give paid parental leave and establish government-sponsored daycare. Such legislation would reduce the stress levels of those who are in charge of young children. Therefore, such rules would result in happier, more harmonious households."
