Not only it is very simplistic, but also bullshit. Women not having to work and being able to spend all of their time with kids is a very American worldview, and also a pretty recent development. In less economically developed countries, especially in rural areas women always had to and still have to work — a lot! True, they don't have office jobs, but neither do men.
And choosing to have more uneducated locals to do unskilled labour is just cynical shite — truly cattle breeding, but with humans. Claiming love for your nation, but willing for some of it to become unskilled workforce is just wrong.

ok

that's "caring for children isn't work".

why is every socialism creating a whole class of "work" with kindergarten teachers etc. if it isn't real work? might it just be to press out another few drops of value from the population?

the classic way is to take your kids with you and teach them how to do things. women usually do the childcare because mammal biology dictates it. in theory it could well be the man, but formula is shit for kids. so it's usually young kids with their mother, older children with other relatives.

the alternative is put them into daycare where they sit for hours on end in soiled diapers and learn zero useful tasks except being good slaves who behave and shut up.

calling it "cattle breeding" because people aren't highly educated does tell more about how _you_ view the world than it being a critique of the idea that women shouldn't be tax slaves from the picture.

however nation comes into this. only required for the moar taxes part.

not everyone is made to be "sKiLLeD" workforce, and that's fine. i respect peoples work, no matter what they work, because it's important. usually the more important a work is, the lower the official "skill".

"unskilled" is an insult anyway, it's called unskilled because there is no piece of paper from a magic authority for it.

creating a lower class of migrants to do the "shit work", THAT is what i'd call cynical. it will never be enough migrants as the old ones will want to go up in a society that looks down on their work and it drains other countries of working age people. just to prop up some weird fetish that everyone is exactly alike while the difference in people is what makes society and life interesting.
