When I look at the tax measures--and that's what I focus on in my work--I agree with you, this has been the lightest budget in years. By that I mean there's very little in it on the tax side of things. That's my area, so I really don't get to comment much on the other side of it. But as I told my students the other day, there's nothing in there that you really need to study, because there's not much in there from a tax perspective. Certainly there is nothing intended or designed to redress some of the issues you raise.
We talk about women's inequality and programs that are hopefully designed to redress some of those inequalities. My point is that those programs in the tax system are currently flawed.
The second point is that it's not just the tax system that one uses to redress the various issues. Direct subsidies, direct spending, and so on are integral to it as well.
