3. I have faith.
I would much prefer every parent of every kid have the means and access to send their children to ANY school, not just the one the government mandates the child must attend. I would love an America with limitless choices.

That is not the case. It was never the case. Thanks to unions we got a little better of a fair shake for a short while, but that was predetermined not to last. The elite gamed the system until what little teeny crumbs we had were taken from us. "grab a bootstrap and drag your lazy ass to college" they said. So huge amounts of people did. And what did the elite do? They gamed more to force the wages and job security of college graduates down even below the level of what blue collar workers once had.

I know it's predetermined that I lose and they win. But if I'm going down, I'm going to go down with a pound of their flesh in my hands.
