ORIGINAL: Sanity Again, for the slowest students in the class, when its "free" as liberals call it (or paid for by taxpayers in the real world), its very difficult to bring anything to market that can compete with it. So the unions have a virtual monopoly on education because theyre continually raping taxpayers, forcing us to pay through the nose for an inferior product. Which this is one of the problems Governor Walker is trying to correct. quote:
ORIGINAL: Musicmystery We do have private schools, and there's no monopoly--people are free to attend them. And yet again, unions aren't doing that---you the citizens are. We have charter schools--attend them. V If not...then the market need isn't there. And as in all markets, there's a world of difference between offering a product and educating all children. Without government, we wouldn't have access to air travel, telephone, mail, utilities, radio/TV except in urban and/wealthy areas, because it's not profitable to extend this universally. Since we the people see education as beneficial to our nation and our economy, we extend that service. Unions come later. You've already indicated that you're working under some extremely erroneous assumptions, from more than doubling the average income to how union activities are funded to choices union members enjoy to participate financially or not. People forget that government is a product of its people, and when government acts, people have spoken, at least indirectly. If you'd like to change education, work from that level. If you're simply anti-union, then focus there, and on the reality of the situation.
