Review
Michelangelo Signorile author of "Life Outside" and "Queer in America"Finally, someone's got the guts to point to the elephant in the room: that America discriminates, sometimes quite shamelessly, against those who do not have children. No one better could be making this clarion call than the compelling, relentless truth-teller, Elinor Burkett. "The Baby Boon" speaks for so many of us who stay silent, fearful of being tarred as "anti-family." But Burkett's is not a book that is "anti" anything. "The Baby Boon" is about inclusivity and fairness, about the American values of equality and justice. A meticulous journalist with facts and figures in hand, she makes a case that simply cannot be dismissed.

Synopsis
Explores the profamily policies of government and industry, showing how these tax credits, flextime plans, and childcare benefits aid the select and affluent few while negatively impacting on many poor and middleclass citizens.
