Rep. Andrew Brenner calls public education "Socialism"

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

1. Just because idiots on the right think 'socialism' is a dirty word

doesn't actually make it one.

Government should run endeavours that are meant to benefit the public. You can't have two 'main' masters, and private companies exist primarily to benefit individuals, aka shareholders. But the education of our children is meant to be a public good, and falls under 'the General Welfare'. Not only should schools not be privatized, there shouldn't exist 'for-profit' prisons, that incentivize legislation to lock up ever greater numbers of citizens. Republicans always want to privatize everything, even when it creates dangers for the public, such as occur when they try to privatize fire companies, and only respond to fires on the properties of 'subscribers'.

Like bullets fired from guns, fires have a tendency to keep going after they've left one property, and do damage on other properties.
