@21ps3freak Our education system is designed to indoctrinate, rather than to inform.
This has been true since before the ideology of the institutions shifted to full-on socialist. But they were always statist in the public schools. The state just had different fish to fry in some ways, like back-filling the imperial conquest of North America as some Holy Mission against sub-human, bloodthirsty savages, instead of the same-old, same-old "We expanded because we COULD, just like all nation-states before us."
But the tradition was - until recently - to celebrate hard work and entrepreneurship on an even playing field, even though the tilting of the playing field started way back in the 19th Century, with the first 3-letter agencies, created to fight against the robber barons, were immediately captured and became the creatures of the robber barons. There was still a lot of liberty and free enterprise, but it's slowly gotten worse and worse over time. The bigger the government gets, the more of it we see and the more of it that is hidden, even when we go looking, which few of us have over the last 2 1/2 centuries, because the overall scheme worked pretty well for so many of us.
But as the walls close in, more of us are starting to see them. Some respond to it with collectivist ideas. Some respond to it with more Enlightened ideas. I'm more of an Enlightenment fellow, myself. The problem isn't too LITTLE government. The problem is too MUCH government.
