I'm not sure of the Ponzi ... and EVERYTHING is open for criminality, but the burden would be taken off of people no longer part of the system ... retirees etc., and the employed would be MORE part and parcel to the tax system and .. perhaps ... more responsable electorate

remember ... we are in the trouble we're in because voters din't vote or didn't vote wisely

Another beef I have (with my own school) is the fact we will graduate over a hundred kids, almost all voting age, but I'm willing to bet none know if they are democrat or republican ...... but by attrition they ARE socialists And the teachers are to blame for that

I appreciate where you’re coming from, but they issue then becomes how does a community fund it’s schools?

Do they charge tuition like a private, and what about those who can’t afford to pay the whole nut for their kids?

...I don’t have the right answer and maybe the best place to start is to decertify the teacher’s unions and have the local school board set the local policy for teachers salary and pensions rather than have them contribute to a state run system.

Unless you change most state constitutions to eliminate the requirement of compulsory education, all of this is tilting at windmills
