The Public School System

                                               

Public education is mandatory and contains the same curriculum for all students as though they have no difference in talent, skills, and goals. Consequently, the public school system is rampant with problems such as ever-increasing taxes to pay, ever-increasing expenses, the millions of students who graduate with little or no skills needed to find gainful employment or advance to higher education, and the lack of discipline indicative of students who have no desire to attend school. Another example worth considering is the government intervention in the money supply. The government’s control over the money supply leads to such instability that one overheard word from the chairman, or even former chairman, of the Federal Reserve sends the stock market into a frenzy. An economic system which is stable enough that we can make the correct financial decisions which creates jobs, wealth, and a high standard of living cannot be subject to the whims of human choice. Mathematical law, physical law, and morality are not subject to human choice, the same should be true for economic law. Problems such as these are indicative of government programs which are not driven by the needs and desires of those who are supposed to benefit from the programs. Conversely, an institution in the free market can only be driven by the needs, wants, and desires, of its beneficiaries. Otherwise, it would perish.
