I'm very happy to do so - on exacally one condition, daycare becomes free.
- SamuelAdams 3y agoSee this is interesting to me. For daycare to become free to parents, ideally governments would subsidize it to 100%. That money comes from somewhere, so probably taxpayer dollars. So you are still paying for it, just slightly more indirectly. So, would you rather pay a lot for childcare all at once when you need it (for 5 years per kid), or pay a little via taxes forever?
- autoexecbat 3y agoForever, for two reasons. 1. It's a large financial hit at an already highly stressful time. It's usually also a non-optional expense. 2. It also taxes those who are childless. We already do free childcare via K-12 education in the US via taxes, we just need to fill in the gap before that.
