> it unfairly discriminates against companies that are unable to provide government-mandated perks to parents, or people interested in having children.
If a company is unable to provide government-mandated payroll to its employees, shouldn't it be considered a failure?
Are you trying to say that I'm implying government mandates of paying employees unfairly discriminates against companies that are mandated to pay employees? Because clearly my comment was about regulations discriminating against one type (or in this case size) of company.

Nope.
This is clearer if you consider another government mandate which also has entrepreneurs running scared: minimum wage.
Is the government discriminating against companies which cannot pay minimum wage to its employees? Or are companies that choose to do business in a jurisdiction where a minimum wage is written into law simply failures?
