[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want European type of child care, you have to pay more taxes. It’s called socialism. No free lunch. [/quote] Right. And realize that women will be expected to stay home for a year or more after each baby and men will be expected to take extended leave as well. And often this leave is at a very low wage unless your employer helps contribute. [/quote] Europeans accept higher taxes and sometimes lower wages in return for social welfare that ensures common life events (having a child, getting laid off, getting sick, aging) do not result in destitution. Americans believe in a lottery system we pretend is a meritocracy instead.[/quote]
