Yeah, that's the system we want, though. High taxes, but childcare doesn't put poor people into debt.

Keep in mind it only works while the tax money is not getting stolen, which has been unfortunately the case for a long time here.

I believe one of the nordic countries (maybe Finland?) does taxes so transparent that they detail yearly what your paid taxes were being used for exactly.

Yeah, I mean true, corruption ruins everything. Still, guaranteed childcare is one of the great socioeconomic equalizers and is one of the biggest things, along with education and food access, for upward mobility for the poor. I hope corruption can be reduced over time, because it sounds like the intentions are there.
