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.

Providing a benefit to one group is not "punishing" another group. If a family doesn't qualify for the
Children't fitness tax credit because their kids are more interested in piano lessons and drama classes than they are in playing hockey and soccer, that's not a punishment. The purpose of that tax credit is to encourage increased physical activity among children. Do you think families whose kids choose non-physical extracurricular activities should also receive an equal tax credit?
