| I agree. There shouldn’t be taxpayer funded schools at all. I pay taxes for schools that I don’t send my kids to because I don’t want them indoctrinated. But just because someone is stealing from me doesn’t give me the right to steal from someone else. If you follow that philosophy you will never get anything except a downward spiral. This sums it up nicely.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
Alexander Fraser Tytler
And yes I realize this is supposed to be a republic not a democracy. Functionally we are getting farther from a republic all the time unfortunately. I’d say as a nation we’re somewhere between apathy and dependence. | |
