I mean, really? Where will the slippery slope stop? First it's healthcare, next thing they'll tax me and use that money for the military. Or schools. OMG, what to do?

3. Nope; fail. Single-payer is the taxation-plus-representation position. ACHA is not.

4. False analogy.

The military is specifically mentioned as a duty of Congress in the Constitution. The federal government does not mandate schools. Local and state government does.

[sadbear]

9. Does it really make any difference which government mandates school?

If the state and local government didn't mandate it, the federal government would.

[former9thward]

10. No it would not.

Schools and education are not mentioned as a duty of the federal government in the Constitution. The federal government can not just do anything it wants. It has to be a duty given to it in the Constitution.
