we have a huge problem in the UK England in education.
we have too many students that cannot read and write properly.
the education system in the UK is poor.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
No one is saying that.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
It is spelled “serf’, not ‘surf’.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Yea we should make poor people pay for their education.

I would rather worship a natural power, unassociated towards human error, completely unbiased towards any race, culture and so on than worship a person who ultimately have their own goals in mind.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
It’s not worship of Friedman, it’s worship of a very natural aspect of social science, it’s called the free market.
Please indicate ONE idea that capitalism fails to accomplish; besides big government.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Well, it seems to me that the people who worship Friedmansim and the capitalist system are now being serfs to their own system. Either way, big business or big Govt is going to have similar effects on society. Both can be ineffective and corrupt when operated by ineffective and dishonest people.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Ultimately, you are sacrificing your freedom, ether way, for the state to have more power. You are voluntarily making yourself a surf, a simple peon, by worshiping the state. This is not to say the state is evil, it’s only, at best, a necessary evil.
Governments should be designed in a way to simply protect its market – not to get “in its business.”
(pun, haha)

You seem to be confused with conservatives, the GOP, and Libertarians. Libertarians believe absolute limited government. Conservatives believe in greater military force, and Liberals believe in public spending. Both are focused on principle and not fact. Don’t confuse Friedman with a Conservative because you would be wrong. Tell me the difference between opression of the market to “prevent failure of education” and oppression of individuals to “prevent global terrorism.” Both are meant to scare.

The thing about the lecture costing $ 35 sounds like the sunk cost fallacy to me, noble though it is.

If we were still 8 years old I might be impressed with your Wayne’s World Trivial knowledge.

Oh please, you are an ignorant socialist. Ignorant meaning not-knowing. You have believed the propaganda! Blame the republicans. Look at America from an economic standpoint. Under EVERY republican administration government has gotten smaller, the national defense is stronger, and the economy is stronger. It is only when the immoral, socialist, democrats get in charge that the country has almost been destroyed.

So reducing marginal tax rates from 70% to 28% doubled Treasury receipts. Now, how did this happen? It happened because it created more taxpayers. It created more jobs by reducing the top marginal rate on people
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
When Ronald Reagan took office, the top marginal tax rate was 70%. The total take in tax revenue to the government in 1981 was about $480 billion. Now, in 1989, when Reagan left office, the top marginal tax rate had been reduced from 70% to 28%. The take to the Treasury almost doubled. It was $950 billion.

No, they haven’t been going well because past Republican administrations have been stealing out of these very programs to finance paramilitary death squads and the construction of military bases around the world for “our nations interests”
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
“Just imagine if it was in our nations interest to educate our population. Our schools would kick ass.”
Oh? What about Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and the War on Poverty? Those government beauties haven’t been going so well have they??
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Uhhh,… what’s to be happy about with all the crap that Freimanism and Reaganomics lead us to today? Besides, I’m not angry I just left to where my skills are appreciated and have more market value than in the Corporations of America.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
i couldn’t agree more with milton this stand’s true today. kids are more focused on the socical than the education. and people who work for a living have to foot these peoples bill!
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
It hurts me to see so many people angry at our country.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Honestly, I don’t know. However, a good indicator that the govt. is spending enough on education will be when schools have enough money for computers and the military has to have a car wash or a bake sale to buy new fighter jets.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
So your argument is we don’t spend enough money or put enough of an emphasis into our schools? Tell me how much is enough?
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
The only thing our govt. cares about is imperialism through violence. That being said, our weaponry is state of the art. Just imagine if it was in our nations interest to educate our population. Our schools would kick ass.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Well,..yes. There’s nothing wrong with what you say, but again, the same thing happens here in Europe with a public system. There are private schools here in Italy but to my suprize, the majority of kids to attend are kids with mild to sever social problems, not just for rich kids.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:50 am
The basic issue is about choice. Choice leads to accountability. Imagine the power of a parent if he can move his child from one school to another. The teachers and administrators who work at all schools would be forced to make changes that would improve their schools. Right now there are no consequences for failure and that’s the problem. Giving parents choice would impose consequences on failing schools to either improve or fail!
