WRONG. Capitalism is freedom to create what you want, and to sell it for what you can get for it. It is the freedom to create new products and markets that never existed before. It is the freedom to create wealth. It requires no government to implement it. It is capitalism that brings civilization out of the jungle.
Hello Part Multi 313,
You can say anything. Words are cheap. That doesn't make them true. I noticed you appear to believe that redistributing wealth is the same as destroying it. As if that wealth is never to be seen again.
Not true.
Actually, what happens when wealth is redistributed from the super-wealth and to the poor it's not like the poor just get this wealth and then sit on it as if that wealth vanished. No. The money is not thrown in a pile and lit on fire. It is not destroyed. Not at all.
Actually, what happens is nearly every cent of it is pretty much immediately spent on products and services offered by the wealthy. Why, what this represents is demand. It's business. It's customers for local businesses and also for big corporations. Every dollar cycled through the social programs to help the disadvantaged pretty much goes right back into circulation creating demand for businesses which then create jobs and hire. And they generate profits and pay taxes. It generates new revenue to help control the federal debt, which, by the way, under Republican policy is growing too rapidly.
A dollar spent on social programs is spent and respent at least six times, generating demand, jobs and revenue. Goes right into the active economy. It adds $6 to the GDP. That's a far cry better than letting it ride on some Wall Street investments which is all the rich are going to do with it.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
That shouldn't be happening either... Schools shouldn't be commie training centers; they should be privatized.
Completely anecdotal, but once I got to high school, it was clear as day which kids came from the city's public school and which kids came from the city's two private schools. The public school kids had never diagrammed sentences before, while I did that in like 5th grade already. They hadn't read To Kill A Mockingbird, while I did that in like 5th or 6th grade already. They didn't understand Algebra, while I had already done that throughout grade school... There's numerous other examples, but the point is that the public school kids were all LIGHT YEARS behind the private school kids in terms of education level...
Nothing being "minced"... It's disingenuous to call something "free" when it is anything BUT free...
Public College would be better (accurate) terminology. I'm fine with calling it that.
How is that "progress"?? Wouldn't that just be 'change'?? But yes, I think we now agree what is being proposed (K-16). That means increased taxes; increased burden for everyone, especially the poorer. I would, instead, propose more charitable donations, more grants, and etc... People willingly assisting in making education a bit more affordable, instead of compulsion through taxation.
Well, I didn't even calculate the cost; I just threw out a bunch of random numbers to convey an underlying point of increased burden on taxpayers.
What benefit?
They ARE, though...
Maybe... maybe not...
Because people are not equal. They do not have equal talents/abilities/intelligence/etc. etc... Many people could never be a CEO no matter how much education/training they receive...
No, it doesn't. Just being present at a university doesn't change someone's natural limitations with regards to intelligence/talent/ability/yadda yadda...
Calling it "free" when it is anything BUT free is quite sneaky if you ask me...
You know how much better off people would be financially if they could just pay for their own private schooling as they go along (and then be completely done with it) instead of having to pay for private schooling PLUS public schooling (for life through taxes)?? Schools would also learn how to make best/efficient use of the resources they do have instead of constantly increasing their spending to the max due to being publicly funded rather than user funded. Plus, once again, that would be an example of self-governance rather than compulsion...
Oh hell no... I'm not sure where you're getting that suspicion from, as I have repeatedly promoted self-governance over compulsion in our correspondence. If anyone, it would likely be Marxist Leftists who would attempt to do such a thing, given their tendency towards compulsion.
Again, I think there are better ways other than compulsion to achieve that goal.
Except for all the businesses started by smart people without college degrees, right?
Not sure how you are determining all of this to be the case...
Same if they DID have college degrees...
Not sure how college stops or even reduces people from being criminals; I'm not seeing the connection...
Sounds like cultural issues to me, rather than education issues... Maybe marriage should be a little more sacred, maybe the nuclear family unit should be a little more sacred, maybe responsible sexual activity should be a little more sacred?? ... ...
There's public education all over the place [at the K-12 level anyway], and it is producing lesser results than private schooling is producing...
Pascal's Wager Fallacy.
College courses do not prevent prisons...
Never asserted such a thing...
Nothing is being cut off... The people still exist, and there are other options besides compulsion to give those people access to education, such as grants and loans...
I do find the bolded language to be interesting though, because isn't that what legalized abortion has been doing for many decades now??
The Industrial Revolution started and occurred well before nationwide public education ever became a thing...
