And those 40 million families living in poverty, earning less than $17,000 per year for a family of 3, can somehow miraculously afford $13000 per year to educate that child? :eek:

This works out real well for the people who already pay for private schooling and actually have the financial position to own a home. They continue to pay the same tuition, but they no longer have to pay the educational taxes.

Pretty much screws those 40 million in poverty though. Oh well, who cares about them anyway? Let 'em get a real job and stop having kids and quit spending food stamps on big screen tv's. Yeah.


Ah but, beyond the educational argument, there's the infrastructure being privatized...roads, hospitals, airports, prisons, water/sewer systems, police being privatized, removal of environmental protections (fuck the future generations, profits > all!), lack of agencies to prevent abuses of all types...abuse of elders, abuse of children, abuse of spouses, abuse of employees, abuse of power, etc. Abuse would just run rampant, unchecked.

Who exactly decides how much government is too much and how much is too little? Oh wait...those in POWER decide. If it benefits them, it's all good. If it screws the weak and vulnerable citizens, who fucking cares really?

Until they rise up like Cairo and Syria and Bahrain. Then maybe someone might care.

Or not.

I don't think so. Everyone pays school taxes if they own property regardless if your child attends K-12 or not.

No, I mean IF there is no more public schooling. IF everyone pays for school, then there is no reason for educational taxes.

I AM YOUR DEITY!

Kneel Before me!

All your responsibilities are belong to me!

@ Stormie Oh, gotcha. Yeh, thats not happening anytime soon.

Still no sense of humor. Here we go again.:rolleyes:

Head like a HO black as my Soul I'd rather die than give you control..

that was a response to Stormie, not you. :eyebrow:

This is how the thread peters out??

Well, I enjoyed this, my lensmeister, perhaps we can do it again sometime?

Not with a bang, but a Stormie...

Thank you for adding the "@stormie". I misunderstood.

I think it ended with misrepresentation:


Dude, God and Jesus already control you.

That makes since!!

I have two atheistic children in Catholic school. They are receiving a far superior education than their public school counterparts for about $6k each. I'll stand with UT on this. I went to a bad public school. Someone else will have to defend them.

I don't think it's right to "suck off" the system and that's what a lot of people do. With larger government comes the people who "work" the system. The only way for Big Systems to work' is to work' the system and most people don't. Just acknowledge that Jesus loves the church in Philly and bow at the feet of the people who run the church and this whole thing will make since.
