Profitized

I suggest that every time some Republican ass uses the term "privatize" that they be smacked on the nose with a newspaper and corrected: "you mean profitized."

We live in a republic, not a "reprivate," and public servants are quite different from private servants.

The real reason re"public"ans want privatization is because they want to convert public assets into private holdings and harvest the profits privately.

Call bullshit every time the term is used. Privatization = Profitization.

Excellent post.
Think of Charter Schools. Or anything else that government does.
