Yes pay for the childcare!. zolten I'd be a high class bitch if children care wasnt equivalent to having a second mortgage. If I can afford 2 or 3 homes if I forgo kids am I high or middle class in your book?
Id be higher on the totem without childcare as well. I have no problem with govt paying for things, but the burden all shouldn't be on the upper middle class. I dont see how dragging one group down to be level with the other helps overall. Im not in that upper middle class either, I just have feels about it I guess.
In not too much longer we will be upper middle class.
I want to be "dragged down" as you put it because I hope I never forget how much harder it is RIGHT HERE than it will be there. It won't change how hard dh works. And we won't be dragged down to the level we are now. We will still be much much better off.

Fair enough. I agree with you that it isn't a simple problem where it will please 100% of Americans to draw a black and white line between economic classes. But I tire of hearing the arguement that if we can't get a perfect solution then lets just do nothing at all...

No something has to be done, I agree. I just don't like the idea of promising free this and that when America in general (and govt) is so far in debt it will never get paid off. Its scary to think of how many generations down the road will be paying for my kid to go to daycare.
Ok, but our tax system doesn't take wealthy people and "drag them down" to the middle class...
Agreed. As a society we have expectations for community safety, infrastructure, consumer protection, and basic education. That costs money. Some zip codes (cities, counties, states, etc.) have a higher tax base than others and even though local tax structures typically attempt to account for this it still hasn't been enough to keep us from seeing glaringly unjust differences in quality of education, access to social services, and life in general. I'll just leave this here:

Fuck I picked today to cancel all cable and get a Roku, I couldn't watch any of it. I tried streaming on YouTube and it wouldn't work. Oh well I'll go back and red the highlights here
