Well we make public education a right for every citizen.

No, we choose to provide education for every citizen, although looking at the quality of that education, I'd say it varies dramatically.

Public education is not a right...it's a choice.


And at least in my neck of the woods...not much of a choice.

Each of us pays a different amount to send our children to the same school, all dependent on percentage of taxes.

Do you honestly want our healthcare system to work the way our public education system does (not) work right now?


Or should it work the way the Social Security system does?
