Government Assistance is limited in the US. Subsidized care available to low-income families only covers a small percent of eligible families. However, tax credits (the Child & Dependent Care tax credit) are available to all families and covers children up to age 13.  (Note: the new tax laws of 2018-19 changed these policies somewhat.)

Why is there opposition to government assistance in the US? 

What is it about the American value system that leads to such opposition?
