private schools do better with smaller amounts of students and they DO NOT have the responsibility to educate everyone.

Wow, ignore my response and repeat it? I think I could have a more enlightened discussion with a rock... or some wallpaper.
Private Schools don't reject students, they reform the trouble makers. The ones that would be too tough for private schools are sent off to specialized public schools, why does this sound like something I Just Said?!

You complain about my comparisions and then offer nothing to say how they were faulty? Thanks.
And Tax Breaks don't help the poor? I guess they don't need the money they work so hard for? If that's the case, let's get all of our tax money to fund the health care plan you want from them, since it won't hurt them anyway.
Food is not a commodity. Food is not a commodity. Food is not a commodity. If we don't give food away, people will take the cheaper food, and that won't be any good. Everyone needs the most expensive kind of food we can dish out. Everyone has the right to it.

That's convenient. Let's not spend time to look at solutions that might preserve the American way and work, let's take crappy ideas and employ them right away, or else we'll pay?!

Yep, that's why you see people going around and buying the cheapest car they can find. Hell, my parents bought a box for a home, it was the cheapest option on the market.
Your principles of economics are fascinating.

Yeah, I know. Drugs are made from magic, not the 50 billion dollars. The executives probably buy yahts with that "R&D" money. You could throw monkeys in a room and get the cure for cancer, anti-virals, ect. Easy.
