Those behind this maneuver of course intend to destroy Social Security altogether as soon as they can, not just rob it now and then, so it's right to be deadly furious.

Like, say, 100 people or less ... or for people not working full-time or contractors ... and of course, it's optional whether you take it or not ...
OTOH, larger companies should have to pay for a minimum of 6 weeks for a mother, 4 weeks for a father, IMHO, at least for full-time salaried employees.

Have workers pay for their own leave by robbing from them, rather than taxing the upper 2% of wage earners and Billionaire Corporations, who can easily afford Paying It Forward.
