Govt Health Care

Tax supported national health care programs are a really horrible idea..

Why should responsible citizens who eat right, exercise, and take care of themselves have to bear the same burden of the national bill as those who smoke, drink, and eat like shit?

The beauty of the free enterprise system and a free market, is that people's actions affect THEM.  Having the community foot the bill for people's health care is a departure from a society with a healthy respect for individual accountability.

Private schools would actually be of benefit to the poor.  A disproportionately greater percentage of poor folks have recently been sending their children there, believing that they will get a superior education than they might in an inner-city, under-funded school. 

And actually, this happens to be true.  A disproportionately greater number of students from private schools go on to higher forms of education, such as going on to get degrees, which leads to higher paying jobs, and contributes to ending the vicious cycle of poverty.
