Sadly enough, in the US right now they are considered to be. Lets not even get into the idea of the educational system that is extremely flawed. Despite being one of the most important jobs, the teaching profession is not very prestigous or valued; teachers are severely underpaid and many state goverments are taking funding from school. The rich who are able to influence decision through the lobbying they do, are enrolling their own kids in Charter school. Now I have absolutely nothing with Charter school but when the public school system is rotting and there is no incentive for improvement why should the education matter again?

Not how the tax system works in most western countries, if you make money while being based in the country you're liable to pay taxes as your business is still based in the country and you are operating under their laws and banner.

On topic $29B? The tax organisations are the strongest and scariest in any country after maybe the Banks, they can literally turn up and reposess all your goods, that's going to be a lot of profits used up to pay this off.

When you say, "just as educated" you mean in the same field right? The problem with today's graudates is that they don't specialize in fields that have demand. Unless you subscribe to the labor theory of value (solely) the value of goods or services is not determined by the amount of labor put into producing them, but also (or solely) by the subjective value they hold in the eyes of others. So it makes perfect sense, for those who don't subscribe to such a theory, that some people who work just as hard don't succeed as easily.

Dont know why you have to be so extreme. The free market needs regulating especially consiering how immensely corrupt it is now. We definitely cannot trust coporations to regulate themselves (crash of 2008) so why cant the goverment do this? With all the rescent stories of coporate corruptions i dont see why you should too. The problem with the idea of true liberetarianism is trust. I dont fucking trust anyone whose main objective is to make money. I can trust such a person with the lives and wellbeing of others. That is just reality.

Why is it that the U.S spends more on average per student than most other first-world countries, yet produces some of the worst results? Oh yeah, the education system is too public. Compare, say, the U.S to Hong Kong or Japan. The issue isn't costs, but the system itself. Private schools and charter schools are a breath of fresh air for not only those who can afford them out of pocket, but the poor students whose education is subsidized (and costs reduced let me add.) 

That's common practice, as far as I know.

Sorry, but the "crash of 2008" was caused by keynesian "stimulus", not some mythical free-market that hasn't existed in the U.S since the late 18th century. Goverment told banks to arbitrarily lend money, and guess what, people defaulted on their loans. In a free-market this bubble would never have happened, because these bubbles are created by state interventioned and the bursts are reactions to the actions that try to set the market straight. But this has nothing to do with regulation. This has to do with people thinking it is alright to tax (steal from) a corporation (or individual - the laws apply to the smallest man as well)  twice just because it started (was born in)  one state and accrues money in another (by the volutary exchange of the resources and services of individuals.) 

Not entire true...

First it is very hard to tell when a certain field is open for your knowledge nowadays. Unless you pick a very stable job like Doctor etc. you can be so sure about your field anymore, the free market now flutuates like hell.

Secondly, I have friends with Masters in Law, Computer Science, Physics, Biology and even Education but thety still cant find work. Unless they wouldnt might downgrading. The other problem is too many people are doing the same courses. the work section for certain jobs have shrink severely and these sectors are overmanned. Could they do something else? yes, would it pay as much as they would have if they got a job they studied for? No.

there are more collage graduate now than ever but yet many are still unemployed. 

The US is also the most populous out of all those countries. You can combine the student population of 5 of those countries and it might equal to that of the US. Finland has a very prominent public educational system that takes very good care of its teachers and for this it is #1 world wide. Like I said before, I havve nothing against Charter school. But because of this, we do not allow the public school system to go to dust. Charter school is a luxury now in this economy.

Wall street does have hands in this....but itsnt entirely on the free market.
