@Robert Le Education and Healthcare are overhead expenses with capitalism to be minimized and made available only to a few. In order to drive profits their way the capitalist replace skilled labor with machines and unskilled labor. This raises the capital value but lowers the labor needed to produce such that when in prices inevitably slump towards the cost of production the rate of profit must go down because the source of the profit is our labor and not the capital. "Simple"ton" capitalism" also caused the crisis of 2008.

@Robert Le Your the one talking about how charter schools work by the principle of simple capitalism. I point out that education doesn't work for under capitalism because of the way it works and you call it ranting. Well i guess you don't understand how the capitalist economy works. That the goal of the bosses is profit maximization.not offering people something that they will give you money for. Cuba has ten thousand foreign students studying medicine at no direct cost to the student and sends brigades of Doctors to poor countries. While in the United States for every three Doctors who retire one has to be replaced by an immigrant Doctor. That is why we say capitalism can't produce medical care and education for the working class. All a charter school is is a school sent up with extra funding and lower pay for the non union teachers. You don't think Bill Gates went to a school like that no his school even had a computer when not even all the Ivy's had one. He was papered with small classes. The ruling class is taught how to boss at a young age. They are taught public speaking. He even got in some practice being a parasite by leasing his baseball glove to his sister. The same opportunities are not out their for everyone the your class is the most important factor in how successful you are. They are the benefactors of the real "Head Start" program called hereditary class position.

George I would have nothing if the Social Security Act of 1935 had not passed Congress in the middle of the great depression. Something the bosses are always talking about taking away with the empty promises of private "bankrupt" pensions. That bill for a social wage for workers would have never passed Congress without the three General Strikes lead by different factions of the Communist Party in 1934. We are the industrial workers and we make all modern life possible. Not bosses like Bill Gates who do nothing but suck blood. Gates and friends did nothing but move the Computer industry to China for lower labor costs and then cry about the loss of intellectual property rights to China. The Chinese won't pay Gates for claims he owns the rights to every thought that comes from brains he feeds. Gates is a bad joke in the computer industry called a bully who wears glasses and a sweater running a company that never had an original idea it didn't try to steal. He tells others "You realize Microsoft has the market for office productivity." His only skill is being a ruthless monopolistic tyrant in the business world. When he couldn't get people sent to prison for copying software that he and big tech boasted as being free he had them jailed for copying the Microsoft font on the CD hard copy. .To control and limit markets big tech writes terms of service and limits parts sales to partners all to keep you or small business from repairing or using the parts and software you or a small business paid for in any way but theirs. Big tech has decided it must monitor all information to watch for dis information. Those who have bad ideas about the ruling class of bankers and bosses must be contained with technological innovation to make the world safe for the capitalist exploitation. Its an ought right lie that capital can produce a god dam thing otherwise a perpetual motion machine would be possible. All capital does is accumulate and demand a return on investment.

George Before Keynes the capitalist worshiped the idols of gold and sliver. Marx was able to that capitalism would go into decline because of the contradiction of the profit being the unpaid labor of the workers that would require the capitalist to develop machines to replace labor but this would cause the rate of profit to fall and drive the bosses to unpopular wage cuts. . Keynes came along and told the capitalist what they wanted to hear that capital actually produces and you need to forget your love of gold and replace it with the love of debt, the number, the machine and the ledger book. This is the world you live in now where love of the machine, love of the number and love of debt has replaced the love of gold. Despite clanging the way you count a profit and replacing the wage cut with inflation you can not avoid the maximization of profit as the goal of the capitalist and capitalism can not avoid facts that iits based based in the exportation of labor not capital producing anything. For if capital colud produce without labor than a perputual motion machine woud be possible. This is why all the MIT Math and Science genius hired by the banks to create a productive derivative failed and the 2008 collapse happened.

@Robert Le Why should the middle and upper class democratize the schools? Why would they want meritocracy.. The capitalist would much better like to show the justice of capitalists reward and punish system, how the poor and homeless aren't victims of capitalist greed but just the natural result of a human imperfections and how a little corruption isn't all that bad. After all they got politicians who can write greed regulations and arbitrate everything down to the penny. Liberals like Warren Buffet they drive a 9-5 desk for a few Billon a year bragging about paying less taxes than his secretary and risk paper cuts and pencil stab wounds. While two workers at BNSF an Engineer and a conductor drive a 100 car freight train at 70 mph with sleep fatigue. Buffet wants more he says fire those who can't meet his new work point system, get rid of the conductor and pay the engineer a few more dollars. Mean while the Railway Slave labor act says the workers can not strike without capitalist government permission.

The purpose of affirmative action was to allow preferential treatment to make up for past racial discrimination. Elite private schools have plenty of money but give preference to the legacy admissions. The elite like Bill Gates go to private schools from K to 12 also where they are pampered with 5 child classrooms and Gates even as a child had access to a computer when not even all the Ivys had them. Educational opportunity is based on class and race. Since those who can afford to live in the better neighborhoods have more local taxes for better funded schools.
