The difficulty in finding adequate day care sometimes can be even more of a challenge with the many lengthy waiting lists that people encounter trying to place their children in a safe environment. But having the ability to work out of their homes, getting the deduction that I believe that these folks are entitled to, that it is not the U.S. Government doing them a favor by providing this deduction but doing something that is fair. As was said, if they had their business at another location, they would be entitled to these deductions. But to have the flexibility to work from our home, a gentleman or a woman working from their home, being there when their kids get home from school, not having to worry about where the young people are going to go, whether there is a place for them to go, having that would be such a benefit.
