Flex-time & family-oriented work rules via tax code

Bush put a family-oriented twist on a familiar theme, casting his $1.3 trillion, 10-year tax-cut proposal as part of a grander concept of providing greater flexibility to employees. He added several points to his agenda:
• letting employees receive compensation time instead of overtime pay;
• making employer-purchased home computers tax deductible;
• forbidding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration from monitoring home offices;
• and encouraging television networks to return to an evening “family hour.”

Tax breaks, child care & bus fare for working recipients

Bush supports the following principles regarding welfare:
• Time limits on welfare benefits
• Require able-bodied welfare recipients to enroll in welfare-to-work programs
• Tax incentives to businesses who hire recipients
• Child care for recipients who work
• Increase access to public transportation for recipients who work
• Limit benefits to those who have additional children while on welfare
• Require unwed teenage mothers to live with parents or in a group home.
