Private prisons, charter schools--invest to make money!
Next up--privatized police forces, firemen, etc. We already have private armies (Blackwater). This shit has got to stop.
What's wrong with public schools? The money I pay in taxes no longer covers sports or arts in public schools (even though my taxes have gone way up while my land value has decreased). The money is going to privatized services that seem to me should be public.

6. Protect the commons! Privatization is a scam. Legalize vice and cut off the flow of money
