no saying we should all be equal. It's myopic to think the current system will survive forever, like damn near every system before it the collapse will come when the wealth inequality reaches a tipping point and the few on top get done in by the masses on the bottom. We can either learn from history or repeat it.
Remove the states authority over standards for educational accomplishment and they'd truly be from up under the thumb of the state.
... but when you say "If govt doesnt fund it who will" it sounds(to me) like you believe govt. to be the only answer, sorry if I misunderstood.
Public schools haven't eradicated private schools, have they? My high school alma mater is still kicking and charging kids' families $40K a year for the privilege. So why would a public option nuke private ones? Surely the govt couldn't come up with a superior solution to the almighty private sector....You can't possibly believe this.
I disagree, but lets assume you're right.
healthcare and education are two completely different beast... but I'd imagine a series of price controls being the biggest factor.I disagree, but lets assume you're right.
Then what?
How would employers respond?
How would the, -you must have a masters- climate change if most Americans were not going to college at all?
How would the value of a high school degree change?
A public option != price controls
Who equated them?
I said i'd imagine price controls would be what would kill private healthcare, should the two run side by side.
wth does any of that have to do with the topic, we're having a general discussion about inequality and you just come in swinging with your premade TLR narratives. 
I figured u were equating the two as price controls are completely irrelevant to a public optionWho equated them?
Its the name of the game on this board.
What's stopping the market from providing a better solution now? There's nothing stopping the brightest minds from starting their own private school systems... some even have, and yet, most kids are still in public school. Why?
... but I wasn't trying to say anything other than our govt. is doing an extremely sh*tty job with education, and I believe the market would yield better results.
I also don't believe your most people will be left without education argument to be true, but I accept that you and a great many people believe it to be a fact... and since I cant prove(empirically) that it wouldn't be the case, I'll just fall back.
I would argue that private entities like Google have more resources than the govt.Regulations, both the good and the bad.
What you are basically asking is, why isn't the private sector successfully competing against a competitor who cant go out of business, isn't limited in resources(in any meaningful way), and sets all the rules
I dont believe there is any industry where the state can be 'out resourced' if you will, but you never know
I don't want to get into a debate over regulations, but any form of licensure, code, standards, hiring practices, even wage laws are what i'm talking about... and IMO they all effect the markets ability to produce the best outcome.I don't want it to sound like im saying all regulations are bad, or that they don't do good things, or that they aren't there for good reasons. i'm simply saying that they are there, and they are barriers that impact the end product.
