Did I forget to mention a wall of separation between the state and education? Until that happens, the mass of students will continue to have their minds poisoned with a state-sanctioned, pedagogically perverse numbing down of their ability to function at more than a semi-literate level.

p.s. I am using "literate" in its higher sense -- not simply the ability to read words and scratch them onto paper.:-)

p.p.s. The "de-regulating of business" is assumed under the separation of commerce and state, an involuntary transfer of wealth from one person to another is a violation of property rights, and the current tax system is a de-frauding of the taxpayer for the purpose of obtaining increased government power by re-distributing the loot to interests that will gladly reward the political 'robin hoods' come election time.:-)
