It's a bad thing if you're opposed to state-funded education, and welfare, like I am.

I don't prefer if the money went to the cartels. But, why are you giving me that choice? Why have I got to choose between two mafias (the state, and the cartels)? Why can't I choose between the mafias (either one, they're basically the same thing), or just letting the money go where the markets determine?

That is one of Thomas Jefferson's most important principals.  He said if you allow everyone to vote, then you must have an educated electorate.  It is a major founding principal of the United States.

So would you want to change it so only people with High School or College Diplomas are allowed to vote?  Or as in Stormship Trouper - only people that served in the military are allowed to vote.

To get rid of public education, you would have to have a major overall of how people vote.

 PS I think the actions of a Mafia and the Government are quite different.  But if you don't see the difference then you live in a different world than I.
