It is a fucking lie. Women historically worked FOR MONEY, and you still deny them credit for it to fit your agenda.

5+ years of government paid income to every single household with children is not the standard anywhere. Some European governments give ONE year. You are misrepresenting facts again. And yes, I could get behind some kind of additional welfare for children in poverty, but I don't think it needs to be universal. My children don't need welfare checks. Nor do any of my neighbors' children. Nor do I really believe that yours do; your irresponsibility in representing other numbers makes me doubt the veracity of your own income claims.

The $100k family, my family members, who choose to live their ideology about a woman's role in the family and outsource the consequences of that decision to the rest of their family/ our family without the family's consent do excite my frustration, yes. Their repeated poor decisions about money and then expectation that they will be relieved of the consequences of those decision is extremely frustrating. But they are inherently not other. They are blood relations and part of me. Your personal judgments about me continue to be wildly off base.

Are you now going to demonize us for paying for childcare? You have no idea what we paid. We organized a harassment campaign at the first corporate daycare we went to, to get the corporation to pay the staff more and fund their certifications so they would quit leaving. Then we took our business to a non profit daycare, that charged nothing to poor families, and we paid full price, but left because they barely had any kids there. Then we went to a local chain that pays their staff some of the best rates in region.

I don't know if you noticed, but the rest of the world is getting tired of funding the US's mountain of debt. And you can tax me more, that's fine. And you can certainly close all the loopholes for the assholes at the top. But when the rest of the world dumps the dollar, we won't be able to just make up money and inflate our problems away. We'll only be able to provide services we can actually pay for. And the amount of money you're asking for is huge. If you say 11 million people stay home and that is a quarter of families, then your asking for income for 44 million more people for at least 5 years each. What kind of income are you looking for? $30k/yr/ person? That's $1.3 trillion per year. And if you scoff and say that's not what you said, it's because you conveniently left out any specifics to your demand, so I tried to sketch out what you might mean.
