It's also Bush and Bush the Lesser's fault and Clinton's fault. It's also the fault of America's first Kenyan president.

What the Kenyan should really have done is set up a system where every toddler has access to daycare centres staffed by teachers who have at least a master's degree in under-5s education. Then they should go to a school where all teachers should have at least a master's degree in teaching. Then they should be able to go to a university where they recieve the best possible education or vocational colleges for the non-academic where they learn a trade or skills to get them skilled employment. All this from daycare to graduation should be free and the people who make it to university/vocational college should be given a monthly payment to cover their living expenses for their two/four/six year courses. This would give everybody in the country equality of opportunity and would create a massive increase in social mobility compared to the current system.

When they leave school they should be able to have generous welfare payments when they go through periods of unemployment, they should have excellent completely free healthcare from cradle to grave and they should be able to pay into a generous state pension plan that gives them a comfortable retirement. And they should get six weeks holiday a year and be able to refuse overtime, an excellent minimum wage and strong unions to keep working wages at a good level.
I see you blaming a lot of people and as for your "solution" to the issue......that's just fucking ridiculous #1 That's way too expensive there's not enough money to pay for it and even if you taxed the fuck out of everything you couldn't make that work and #2 That has the all the makings of a tyranny and I'd oppose it with every last fiber of my being. If the government controls all of that then the government controls your life, your job, your education, your health, and what's stopping them from controlling everything else, what you eat when you go to the bathroom, how much power you're allowed to use in your house, etc.
