Why Republicans Are Opposed to Supporting the Poor - An Open Secret

6. Exactly. That is why schools in affluent communities

are so far superior to schools in poor communities. Affluent communities are home to people who are among the oligarchy, and thus should be supported. Poor communities are home to the poorly-paid labor force, so superior education is not only not desirable there, it is detrimental to the system.

So, we have a public (and private) school system designed to perpetuate the current system. As technology has increased, we have upped the ante in some schools, increasing the disparity of educational excellence in affluent communities. All you have to do is tour public schools in the two types of communities to see the difference.

By the same token, however, it is not a good idea to over-educate too many people. That is being handled by bringing in highly-trained workers from other nations on work visas. In that way, they can be controlled and replenished when needed. By doing that, we do not have to support education for high-tech workers, who cannot just be sent back to their foreign home at any time. We can also pay the imported workers less, which leads to more financial benefits for the oligarchs.

We still need a large population of relatively unskilled workers, of course, to serve the needs of the oligarchs for unskilled workers. So, we maintain the public school system to provide just enough education, but no more.
