I know a conservative woman that has 2 children. The older got pregnant at 17 and married. The mom convinced her not to get Medicaid to help pay for the birth of the baby because it isn’t the government’s responsibility. This left the young couple saddled with some debt because they didn’t have great insurance. However, the younger child was in public school having her education paid for by the government. I fail to see the difference.
First of all, the government can't pay for bubble gum. The taxpayers pay. Willingly or otherwise.
Aside from that, there IS no difference except for one :
If you fail to accept government pregnancy "help," you will not be threatened with arrest and government harrassment.
But if you try to opt out of government schools, it is a whole other thing. Harrassment, persecution, threats, arrest and prosecution are not out of the question.
See the difference?
If you are independently wealthy, the first example is academic. As is the second, if you can afford any private school you choose; that isn't illegal --- yet; or legal representation and the time and effort legal resistance requires.
Freedom should not vary, depending on how big your savings account is.
