1) I live in your head rent free 24/7/365.
2) You wake up with the night sweats calling my name.
3) I can still rely on the advice of Dr. Johnny fever: "It is bad luck to take advice from a crazy person."
BTW the topic was going Galt and avoid paying taxes, not whining about a system that you refuse to attempt to fix.
One of the best ways to do that is to remove one’s child from the government's owned and run, godless ( therefore religiously NON-neutral), socialist-funded, single-payer K-12 schools.
If there are fewer kids being indoctrinated in the government Marxist indoctrination camps, there is **more** opportunity to reduce taxes for all and to have money returned to the taxpayer's pocket.
Since you are evidently one of the smarter professional teachers, I am certain that you should be able to understand this simple economic principle. But....Maybe they don't teach basic economics in the nation's colleges of education. Given the rock bottom SAT scores of most education majors, economic principles may be a little much for them.
It is impossible to fix a single-payer, compulsory-use, and socialist program. Programs such as this need to be abolished and privatized. Our Marxist controlled, government owned and run, socialist-funded, single-payer, and compulsory-use indoctrination camps ( misnamed “schools”) can not be reformed. We must begin the process of privatizing K-12 education.
One of the definitions of “Going Galt” is starving the beast. One of the most effective ways to do that is to remove one’s child from the government indoctrination camps. It has been estimated that it costs up to $17,000/per child/year. Whew! That's a **lot** of money that can be returned to our nation's citizens and businesses. This is money that can be invested in privately owned and run schools, as well as business and investments. This means **lots** of private sector jobs, the life-blood of the economy.
Since you are one of the smarter government teachers, I am certain you understand this principle. As for you colleagues?...Well!... They weren't the brightest bulbs on our nation's college campuses.
