Message | Education is entirely voluntary => fewer scholars => fewer higly-educated people => fewer people with high paid jobs (doctors, lawyers etc) => fewer tax incomes. Conclusion: a money-saver in the short run, more debts AND a lot of unemployed persons in a couple of years. |

Message | The idea that the private sector will just voluntarily do whats for the public good at the expense of the owners potential profits, without regulation, is really as much a utopian sentiment as the communist idea of having a society with no government, no money with each taking only what they need and giving what they can. |
