Sorry comrade, this ain’t Pravda. Nobody’s buying your bullshit.

Straight outta Moscow.

Well, it’s been perfectly awful, but it’s time to move on. I’m going back to reading articles written by people with public school educations, with a computer invented and produced by people with public school educations, on an internet invented, implemented and maintained by people with public school educations. I’ll…

So we finally get to the real bullshit, the heart of the matter.

OK, that’s some more made up bullshit.

You do realize that most historians regard the industrial revolution and the rise of compulsory public schooling to be contemporaneous, right?

It’s weak minded nonsense to attack people.

You’re demanding I defend the interpretation of someone else. Typical nonsense.

The only person whose views you need to defend is Frederic Bastiat.

“Bastiat’s fans claim that the socialist forces at work in France in 1850, are at work in America today.”

Who argued there was no structure? Not I.

Ouch. Get a water-proof (or at least resistant) carry-on. Seriously.

Ah, OK. Please provide examples of structureless industrialization and freedom. And please, please provide examples of good living conditions without public education. I’m all ears.

By freedom I mean not being a tax donkey in a company town living in debt serfdom

That looks a surprisingly like a silk purse

you find domestication to a corporate-government alliance better than freedom

Nah, you still need a grain of salt for Bastiat.

The strategy is called tax avoidance, which is legal (and encouraged, even by the IRS!). Tax evasion, on the other hand, is illegal.

the top 10% of earners pay something like 95% of all taxes

Frederic Bastiat also said that public education was an unwarranted redistribution of wealth. and we know how that works out for nations that don’t provide public education (they’re all third world) and for nations that do provide free, public education (i.e., the G20)
