But is private education really private ? how much subvention from the local gouvernement does your local private school got? Andis it always better ? Or is it perceived to be better ? And more importantly will it really be better for your kid ? It's not so black and white.
Education is mired with bad statistic, poor decision makind and the myth of the one fit all. It's the same all over the world.
When something scares you it can not be just in your opinion wrong. It must be evil incarnate. You can not just disagree with the premise but the words themselves must be wiped from history.
I have read the book and watched both movies. I believe that Ayn Rand was wrong and right. Pure 100 percent capitalism is not a wonder drug. But regulations are wielded by the politically connected to the detriment of innovation on a fairly constant basis. When you do to much for the lazy at the expense of the drivers of the economy bad things will happen. When you penalize an action you reduce it. When you reward a thing it increases.
This is why you must have a limit on how long unemployment benefits can last. If you made it able to last forever you will encourage some to stay longer. The perfect length of unemployment insurance is (at least be me) unknown. But we have one group of people that think it is evil for even a week. We have another that cries "Unfeeling bastard!" if you even think of not extending it each time it runs out for a person.
What needs to happen though is that words like mine are dangerous so they must be attacked. The funny thing is that the idiots that believe that capitalism must me 100% unchecked will at least let me have my opinion. Those that think there must be a permanent net installed for any potential failure of any individual will do their best to mock, marginalize and bully it out of existence.
The same people I believe that "Will not tollerate!" those who do not fully accept someone else s choices in life.
If you got your ass any kind of skill or cared about your work at all you would not be working for minimum wage.
If you can not bring more to the table than a guy willing to work for minimum wage or your employer will not pay over minimum wage to keep you at his place of employment then you suck.
How correct you are government fails badly at education.
Spend more money to get less results. Unless of course you are the teachers union. Then you get good results.
If a church starts doing stupid shit with my money I can give somewhere else.
When the government decides to pay people to not grow food I have no choice but to pay.
Do you understand the difference or are you stupid?
Every new thing I learn is for my own benefit. The company does get a better educated and informed employee though.
If you do not like your job, leave. If you stay, do your best.
If we allow the stupid to die off in massive amounts by removing warning labels from hair dryers, airbags and cleaning supplies before they breed we could have a very positive effect on the average IQ of future Average Joe s.
This way, the average Joe who doesn't know or doesn't care about permissions is kept safe from potentially malicious software by only being in the actively moderated tier, but someone who has some sort of a clue can turn that protection off and go for whatever utility they want.
Fuck the Average Joe.
He is getting stupider and less capable of caring for himself every year. I for one am tired of this pathetic leech screwing shit up for the rest of us.
Fuck Average Joe and all those that support his continued existence.
So much better to give to government. Where a higher percentage of the monies are used to....
What?
Government programs have done zero good for the poor. Government housing is the worst and lack of any controls make these hot beds of horror and crime. Government assistance (Food Stamps and Welfare) have created nothing. They reward bad behavior and make getting off the dole more difficult.
You have a program that pays subsidies to farmers to not grow food to keep prices high. One that subsidies milk to keep the price low, You have programs distributing the food. You have government agencies battling other agencies to advertise to more people that getting on the dole is a good thing. Social pressures to fend for yourself have been removed.
You have people putting up their own youtube videos demanding their food stamps. There is no shame left in society. Where you do not have shame as a control you get what we have today. We have a bunch of people that to this day believe that stealing wealth from those that earn it to give to those who did not makes them good people. Taking my money to give to some poor person does not make you a good person. It just makes you a thief. We are all responsible for ourselves and the well being of our neighbors. We do this through community. Communities are built by and large (With some very large and effective notable exceptions.) by churches.
Communities of like minded individuals pulling together as one to help those of their community that needs it is orders of magnitude less destructive than what the Federal Government has been doing. Not even looking at the good it does. We have been doing this the Big Government way for many decades now. Crime is rampant. (Confined mostly to the ghettos. Which makes life for the poor Ohh so good.) Personal responsibility is at an all time low. Care for others is right there as well. After all. Why worry about your neighbors well fare when that is the job of the government?
I am filled with anger that I must let go of every time I broach this subject. Because I know that those who preach that it is the responsibility of the government to prevent harm do it out of self will. If I can make the government responsible then I do not have to be. I do not bear any responsibility for what befalls me and I have no responsibility to those around me. "I gave at the office."
Caring people would look at the outcome of these government programs and weep.
Notice how the "Conservative states dominate the top of charitable giving? See that big block of Blue at the bottom. Does this quick view of the way things are let you infer anything?
Further into the article you also see that the rich are not the most giving either. That the middle class in those states give a far higher percentage of their income out.
The US is filled with good people that care and want to do good. They do not need to have their money taken from them in order to do good.
Actually liberals are much tighter with their money than conservatives are. Conservatives tend to give a higher percentage of their wealth away than liberals do.
Also. The US citizens give more money in foreign aid than the US government does. Most of it is much more effective as well.

Being more expensive and worse than something you call garbage is a major accomplishment though.

Publicly educated. Right?
This can not be allowed. Every mention of the bible in a "Non explicitly evil and/or stupid" context must be squashed.
You can see all the little PC Nazis running toward you ready to attack.

IAnd this bullshit of "you didn't build that!" why, the private sector could do just fine building roads and highways and edukating us!
You do realize that private education is cheaper and better. Right?
I am sorry. You obviously have no ability to detect sarcasm.
You would be so much happier existing in a North Korean village.
Fuck, I hate people like you.

If they're not keeping data for tracking crime rates, then what is the point?
Ha, Ha, Ha! Oh goodness. You really have no idea how governments work. Do you?
Every new thing I learn is for my own benefit. The company does get a better educated and informed employee though. If you do not like your job, leave. If you stay, do your best.
Currently he is only a PFY. But he is well trained and therefor very dangerous still.

With all text inverse.

Because giving to your church is a less effective use of charitable monies than "giving" to the government? Are you insane or just trolling?
Also. The US citizens give more money in foreign aid than the US government does. Most of it is much more effective as well.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
No. Pics or it DID happen.
The thought that others have to work so others can have a big screen LCD while on welfare is a problem.
When a majority of the population can impose taxes that do not effect them upon a minority of the population there will be failure.
They kind of had to go that route to get the benefits that they demanded.
The unions of the American car companies are much like a CEO that pays himself sooo much that the company can not survive and still pay him.
Although with a CEO the board can just say no and the guy leaves. With unions there are threats and strikes and whatever it takes to get their way.
