Say what you may, but you'd have to agree that it's a little curious that people who are being paid out of tax money enjoy better salaries and fringe benefits than the people that have to pay those taxes. State employees are being paid out of OPM, Other People's Money [TM], they are tax receivers. So a little humbleness should be appropriate: beggars can't be choosers.

Not to even start on the quality of public education, which has a lot to do with the lack of competition. Most people can't afford private schools, as they'd have to pay twice: once through taxes for the public schooling of someone else, and then once more for the private schooling of their own.

Constitutionally, public schooling is a violation of people's rights. The only purpose of a state is to protect its citizens from infringements on their safety and individual freedom. Today, the state is the one doing most of the infringing.

Scot Walker has the courage to do what needs to be done, or else the system will collapse in the not too distant future. The biggest problem with socialism, apart from the major moral issue that it cannot be instituted without the admission of force, is that one fine day it will run out of OPM.
