Charter schools would actually be on equal footing with public schools in that the money to fund them would come from taxpayer income, whereas individuals and employers fund their own healthcare options.<br /><br />Furthermore, Charter schools serve as a truly competitive option for public education. The Public Option Obama has inspired will be funded by taxpayers, enabling it to be less expensive (at least at first), which will cause most employers to funnel employees into it. The effect is a "soft" elimination of competition in favor of public option only system...void of competition. We vote for competition on both fronts.Norcross Schoolshttp://www.cornerstonecougars.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-71828510896612010402009-11-10T15:48:26.518-05:002009-11-10T15:48:26.518-05:00The capitalist economy of the United States no lon...The capitalist economy of the United States no longer has the capacity to maintain a public school system. For that matter, public health care (Medicare/Medicaid) and a public program of old-age and survivors insurance (Social Security) will be sacrificed in the coming year for the sake of the US military's war making capacity and to provide welfare to Wall Street.<br /><br />One overriding question looms ahead. Will we have public schools, national health care, Social Security or will we have capitalism?andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729973018160659213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-17410739824585157822009-11-10T15:30:40.105-05:002009-11-10T15:30:40.105-05:00__________________________________
THE REVOLVING ...__________________________________<br /><br />THE REVOLVING WHEEL OF HISTORY -<br /><br />DOES IT EVER NOT REPEAT ITSELF ?<br />__________________________________<br /><br />Entire forests are continuously being decimated and converted to paper pulp to produce sufficient paper to print all the millions of words, opinions and theories regarding the Charterization of America's Public School systems.<br /><br />Yet has anyone paused to see how this is an exact replay of the historical events that led to the disaster in our Medical care system as so powerfully depicted in Michael Moore's blockbuster film 'SICKO".<br /><br />There is that memorable moment in the film where the idea of "Managed Care" is being pitched to President Nixon in the Oval Office. Nixon is hesitant at first but when the "ball pitcher" explains that the main, driving concept of "Managed Care" is that it will be a "For Profit" system, Nixon's attention suddenly perks up.<br /><br />We hear a tape of Nixon uttering those famous and fateful three words: "I like that."<br /><br />No need for me to educate anyone on how the main idea of "Managed Care" was that the more you withhold that Medical care- the bigger your profit margins.<br /><br />The more Americans who died because care was withheld the more yachts and private personal jets, the big investors in Managed Care could buy.<br /><br />Now, the same types of fiendish minds that concocted the idea of "Managed Care" are looking for new fields from which to harvest equally abundant crops of "Green".<br /><br />But at some point, and it will be earlier, rather than later, just as in "Managed Care" in the so called "Health" industry, a time will come when to increase the profit margins it will become necessary to "deliver" LESS Education- not more.<br /><br />Just as withholding Medical services is the name of the game to increase the balooning profit margins in the "Health" Industry, so too will it be seen as a no brainer that less services to school children will translate into a rosier- or rather Greener- "bottom line" for the investors.<br /><br />How ironic that exactly at a moment in American history when it appears that people are just awakening to the fact that we cannot continue to allow average Americans to die for lack of affordable Medical care, to ensure higher profits to "Managed Care" investors, we are now going to visit that same nightmare upon our most vulnerable and most defenseless citizens- America's children.<br />__________________________________DAVID PAKTERhttp://www.oldmasterportraits.comnoreply@blogger.com
