you have a fair degree of social stability because it's homogeneous, even though you don't have the same family structure, it's ethnically homogeneous but a very large public investment in education, particularly early childhood education. >> they have what's called social democracy. they pay a lot of taxes. almost half of their national income, whereas in the united states it's about 30%, not 50%. and they use that to support families, for example, exactly to address the kind of problem that megan mentioned. the families falling apart under the pressures of poverty. they support early childhood development, day care for poor families so that the mother can go to work and have the child in a safe environment that also is a kind of preschool environment. they pay for it. and they get great results. >> megan, i know you have sort of libertarian inclinations. it seems to me that's the big difference between the united states and northern europe,
