If we decide we want this as a country we should probably figure out how to fund it appropriately. Make it a 'clean' tax-and-pay system

The lack of paid leave in general is a system that only begets inefficiency cycle after cycle. In some countries, men and women will have up to a year or two of government or privately sponsored sick, and more importantly paternity/maternity leave. This is because other countries know that to properly raise a child, one must really be around all the time in the early years, if possible. I believe the lack of time spent in raising a child can be reflected in the sad state of affairs in this country. People grow up less ready for this world, and ultimately less connected to it because they didn't have their father around a lot as a kid, who was constantly working late to give me and my sister a better life. And in that regard, I advocate family leave in general.

Businesses should only grant paid maternity leave for two kids and sick leave.

Yes, but only for maternity leave, medical leave, illness, sick family member, or death in the family. The employee must have proof of it with a doctor's note and documents. Workers need to STOP taking advantage of these programs and stop abusing the system. The government should NOT sponsor these programs because that would negatively affect the economy and make our country a socialist country and we should NOT let that happen.
