I'm simply critiquing your dogmatic faith in unregulated markets. Reality cannot and will not conform to your ideology.

Here's an on-topic question.

We're not just talking about individuals and their pursuit of happiness with education. We're talking about putting the highest-quality people into the workforce regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances, cultivating innovators and leaders regardless of zip code. Investments in human capital pay off at a rate estimated at 7:1, calculating both the addition of a well-educated workforce and the subtraction of costly social issues.

But a long-term investment in the capacity of all citizens -- regardless of circumstances, profitability, or geography -- simply is not incentivized in unregulated capital markets. At least as far as I can tell. So here's the question.

Can you imagine the market mechanisms by which unregulated capital markets would be incentivized to give every child in the country a high-quality education, regardless of geography and their ability to pay? Because $15,000 per child isn't going to cut it. A school is not a business. The inputs (children) have different needs, learning styles, everything.
