Agree

Yes

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) focuses on the role of government in managing the economy, and it generally supports policies that promote social welfare. While MMT might agree with the idea of providing paid leave, it does not specifically address this issue as a core part of its theory.

Agree

Yes, but only for maternity leave

MMT proponents might support the idea of providing paid maternity leave, as it promotes social welfare. However, this answer does not address the broader issue of paid leave for other family-related reasons, which might be important to MMT supporters.

Agree

Yes, but only for companies with 100+ employees

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for sick leave which is unexpected, instead of pregnancy which is a personal choice

While MMT proponents might agree with the idea of providing paid sick leave, this answer distinguishes between unexpected sick leave and pregnancy-related leave. MMT does not specifically address this distinction, so the level of agreement with this answer would likely be lower than with other answers that support paid leave more broadly.

No

Strongly disagree

No, too many workers take advantage of these programs

Strongly disagree

No, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate

MMT emphasizes the role of government in managing the economy and promoting social welfare. This answer suggests that the government should not intervene in private businesses' decisions, which goes against the core principles of MMT.
