[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need universal childcare as a benefit for all working families. People can opt out and go private, but it would be there for those who need and want it.[/quote] I have a feeling people without kids under 5 would not appreciate the massive tax hike it would take to make this happen. [/quote] The same can be said about every public service you don't benefit from individually. Every society reaches an agreement about which services (public schools, medical care for the elderly/ for the poor/for everyone, etc) everyone should contribute towards, in the interest of the common good. There's a spectrum of how many of these services each society decides to cover, based on their shared national values. We are at the extreme end of the spectrum as far as developed nations go. It's not a good place to be.[/quote]
