school financing and economics debates
[email protected]
<<Parents -- not politicians or government employees -- should choose how
their own money should be spent for their own children's education.
Nobody has a right to anyone else's property.
You have apparently not read enough economics to have understood the concepts
of public goods and positive/negative externalities and some of the causes
and solutions to market failure. Neither have most of the other people here,
so it is difficult for them to counter even some of the most simplistic
arguments, without the ability to draw upon and articulate those somewhat
more complex concepts. It doesn't make you right, it just makes it
frustrating and annoying to watch the process.
This is not a good place to argue economics - people are not here because
they are interested in that. If I thought they were, I'd jump in and provide
plenty of arguments, based on sound economic reasoning, for why it DOES make
sense, in a mixed economy, such as that of the United States, for some of our
tax dollars to be used for educating other people's children and for a number
of other purposes.
However, like I said, people did not COME to this list to argue economics,
not even the economics of public school financing. A really good place for
that kind of argument, if you want to do it with other homeschoolers, is the
NHEN-Legislative yahoogroups list.
Please EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS NOT INTERESTED --- the way list topics get
perpetuated is by people responding to them - you vote with your own posts <G>
. If you want these kinds of threads to die a natural death, stop responding
to them, no matter how difficult that may be. Those who ARE interested and
want to continue - please make the subject line clear so that the rest of us
can delete the messages more easily. Thank you.
