Parks departments
are a few examples of things society does better than the private sector. There are things that the private sector and the motovation of purely profit will not do without costing us way more than a purely socital response. You refuse to understand this and will never understand this. You fortunately are not really the majority.
Police are suppose to uphold the law. I guess that can be privatized, (and we have the power to arrest as a citizen) but the training would be the same--just without the corruption. A bounty hunter is a private law man--but many are not really trained well--or at all. Law inforcement can be privatized--but I am not sure it should be
Fire departments---there is no reason why a private company could not run a fire department (they could sell the fire insurance in their local area if you wanted their service--just like trash service). Have you seen the benifit package the workers of that occupation recieve, on our bill? Much better than the private sector average. We have the rest of the fire industry privatized with companies making all the equiptment from your dog house to the white house (but those White House contractors make more money for some reason--right)
Schools. Way out there. Private schools are doing much better, home schooling is on the rise, and developing some of the best minds the generation has seen, and there are huge waiting lines to get into charter schools. In case nobody educated you on this in a public school--we have the worst school system for any productive country that got their rise during the industrial revolution--and that is a lot. Our public schooo system is a excellent example of what government does not do right at all, and in no way can compete with the private sector.--but they keep the needy needy--and that is in the interest of getting votes if your offered welfare. I bet you will not see 5% of home schooled kids on welfare---ever.
Remember this--our government public schools are bad for a reason. First, they are a tool for the government to train you the way they want you. It is dictated to the public schools on what material we teach our kids. There is a lot of history taught to us, that only tells one side of the sory. Next, it is bad becasue it is against some peoples interest to have a highly educated, highly informed population capable of critical thinnking. I had to learn about the constitution and our rights under it after high school (still learning), because we surely did not cover it very well. Many public schools, (and universities) breed fools. And fools will be taken advantage of.
The parks could easily be privatized, and many are. The land was grabbed by the gov to make revenue and preserve the land. Those costs, to visit a national park--I can afford.
Lets talk about Social security. Lets talk about welfare programs for life. lets talk about border securtiy. Lets talk about government having no competition, so they can be as fat as they want. that is why the government, any government, can not compete with a free market. So what does a government do to grow when not needed--they make the market not as free by imposing taxes and regulation. Now, they gotcha--and you need their help. They got all the money man! They got all your money--as tax paid government jobs take over private jobs. Times are getting tough, and we have to be frugal and wise--that includes governement, because the money comes from the private sector.
If you want to keep and invest as much money as you can, to invest in the USA, and invest in our economy, and to build a future for yourself and your family----privatize as much as possible. Where do you think the jobs come from? (remember--gov jobs cost tax payers money--private jobs do not) Where else do you get fair competition to keep things efficient and cost effective?
There is one industry that seems to be a problem when privatized totally.
You see, the military industrial complex is fueled because our manufacturing of those products are totally privatized. They are big manufacturing companies, that have shareholders. In order for a manufacturing company to make profit, it has to produce product at war time, and peace time. We have a lot of great shit because of privatization, that makes me feel a bit more safe against hostile countries, but to keep in the black, products have to be made all the time. we end up with a surplus of military product, and if the pentagon does not buy it, some other country can. Gotta sell the product to stay in business. we have so much product surplus at times, we dump brand new prodct in the ocean, just to make room for more new product. That is our money folks. A big surplus makes us more willing to go to war--as it helps out the shareholders. Military product, for federal protection, IMO, may not be a good idea to keep totally privatized. Not sure yet. There is something about war being a business that is just not right.
