Imagining
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN if all education in America were privatized? What, for that matter, about police protection, fire protection, water, and health care? What would happen is all these were suddenly privatized? Chaos, is what. Certainly chaos at first, as we all got used to the new arrangement by doing whatever was necessary. At least so it would seem, when you consider the fact that throughout American history, all of these services have been either partially or entirely socialized. What would the cost of education by, nationwide? How many people could afford it, and how many could not? Do we really want privately ownde for profit police protection businesses? I really don't think so. conservatives might disagree, but for the most part, even right wingers admit for government to perform certain services, like building and maintaining roads and bridges, and maintaining a strong military to defend teh country. Heaven forbid that we should ever leave our military protection to private enterprise! The socialism that pervades American life is absolutely, indisputable necessary, so let's hear no more of this argument that nowhere in the world has socialism ever worked. it works right here at home. Our American right wing cousins are fond of, or at notorious for, perpetuating fals myths for ideological purposes, myths such as socialism doesn't work, a well armed citizenry will reduce violence, climate change is a liberal hoax, the recent tax cut for corporations will help poor working people, and so forth, as nauseum. If cute little ole Stormi really wants to serve her country, she'll tell all about Trump and herself, and thereby maybe contribute to the election of democrats this November.
