Read history.

What happens when the mob no longer gets their bread and circuses? When they feel that they have no real chance of success, and no real consequence of revolt?

The elite won’t cut off welfare. They live to close to the mob.

Again, what are we going to do with those people? That is the question we as a nation need to start working toward. The Irish came in as an under class, and became mainstream. Same with the Italians in many places.

Cutting off the flow of education and money won’t help. It will only increase the problem. How do you turn a growing underclass into producers?

I did not suggest cutting off the flow of education nor money. What I suggest is that parents are forced to pay for their children's education individually.

Some parents can afford and are willing to pay for a gold plated education. I live in Exeter, NH home to one of those gold plated prep schools. They have about 50 spots a year for local day students, kids who live within about a 30 minute drive from the school. Each year the get 1000 application from the locals willing to pay $35,000 per year in addition to the property taxes they pay for the local school district. In NH, that is a substantial tax, because there is no sales or property tax.

Right now the public schools do not have to compete against them because those 950 kids that didn't make it in have no where else to go that can add the value over the property tax.

If parents were able to use their tax money to choose a school, schools would be forced to compete. Where there is competition the quality improves and the costs decreases. Samsung had to substantially improve their phones to compete with Apple and Apple has had to keep their prices in check to compete with Samsung. Or you could make the comparison between the Ford Pinto, Fusion and the Toyota Corolla. Right know our education system is an AMC Pacer, and will remain there unless parents have to pay for it themselves.

Single Payer Government Schools will never educate children. Rachel Jenteel should make that painfully obvious to anyone.
