You've basically made the case that public ed is a welfare and daycare program. Arguing that single parents won't have a place to put their kids is to ignore the decades-old research that says that single parent households is the single largest cause of systemic poverty in the US. Giving people this option incentives the behavior. People must be redirected back into teo parent households if we're going to break the poverty cycle. This has never been more apparent in the black community, which was thriving until the introduction of the welfare state. What difference does school make in urban areas? Most of the boys are on a path to prison even with public schools. No one in education has been able to break the cycle without substantial family support. And even then only because distinct education programs were created for a few kids with substantial private philanthropy.

You just made the case for sounding like a self-absorbed and selfish asshole without a fundamental understanding of:

A.) anyone that lives under circumstances other than your own.

2.) most basic purpose and function of a democratically controlled government, operated separate from the church.

America, and the fundamental values it was founded on are *definitely* not for you.

I recommend trying out living in a theocratic state that developed outside the effects of the reformation.

Try the Middle East. You’ll love it much more there. It’s much more your style.

Whatever I sound like to you, I look forward to the time when we are on a bitcoin standard and you cheer the govt on as it demands you give up your bitcoin to support social programs.

Meanwhile, I will be using my bitcoin to fund leaner, more efficient, locally supported educational options, which by the way, is what's going to happen regardless when the dollar becomes worthless.
