That's no different than saying homeowners who didn't receive the home renovation tax credit because they didn't perform any renovations to their property were being "punished".

It's the same. The home renovation tax credit punished those who didn't own homes or perform renovations.
Selected tax credits are a dumb strategy. Lower taxes for everyone or if you want to help families with children then give them a break directly.
Somehow saying daycare families are better than other families who have relatives as care givers or one parent at home so only those who use day cares deserve a break is ridiculous.
