What is the problem with the daycare system. Isn’t that expensive everywhere in the world? (Or people paying indirectly for it through taxation).
Yeah, that seems about right. Though the recent mess in the Netherlands around daycare liberalization and subsidies also tells us we have a long way to go

Yeah. I am not sure about my stance, that is why I find it interesting to discuss. It just feels wrong that other people have to contribute to my children's daycare if I can afford it. But it might be the best solution overall.

A good argument on the other side is that the government should subsidize children in a declining population.

The problem with the Netherlands is that the tax system is way to complex. Pay on salaries and get a variety of subsidies from another department. It's just moving money around and creating massive bureaucratic overhead which leads to painful mistakes.

I agree it should be simpler. One big way of doing so is to not charge as much for basic services, so you don’t have to subsidize them. If health insurance was €10 instead of €100 per month you wouldn’t need healthcare subsidies. Etc.
