Im sorry you are factually incorrect. There are many millions less poor, as in the video I posted. The trend is-and its entirely because of adopting free market principles. If "Govt stepping in with strong regulations and funding" was the answer inner city schools would flourish here in the US-they dont. And in many places in both China and India they still down have public education.
Yea OK I am wrong... oh no wait you are...
[QUOTE =]Education in China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years, known as the nine-year compulsory education, which the government funds.

India? Swing and a miss
[QUOTE =]Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding coming from three levels: central, state, and local. Under various articles of the Indian Constitution, free and compulsory education is provided as a fundamental right to children between the ages of 6 and 14.

So they certainly do both have public education. The literacy rate in China is 95.1% and in India is 74%...
That's funny because in China their is no private education.
They dont "flourish" because they are HORRENDOUSLY under funded. For example my friends mom has worked in the philly school district for decades, she's close to retirement actually, and as long as I can remember (so 20 years) she has been complaining about having to buy pens pencils and paper out of pocket for her class out of her hard earned checks. He district simply does not have the money to pay for it. Would you call that proper funding?
How about the fact that the philly school district can only afford having a nurse on premises one or two days a week is that proper funding? I think not...
So you sir are just wrong on all fronts. What has happened in China and India is directly due to government intervention, and not insane slashing of funding in the name of the "free market"
your concept of the right thing to do is not mine. addicting people to handouts is almost as bad as addicting them to heroin and given how they vote, more harmful to me
Haha that's hilarious your arguing that feeding and educating the poor is worse than shooting them up with dope... May a dope fiend brake into your house... Karma sucks
I dont care what your concept of right is... May I ask are you religious at all?
It hurts competition and drives up prices-both of which hurt the consumer-EVERY consumer. That good enough?
This is true only in two sectors too my knoledge cough construction cough pigs cough cough hack...
Unions are very necessary for teachers, fast food workers, big box store workers, and any other obvious wage slaves... Wish they weren't, but they are...
The poorest are a minority. You know-the poor you are trying to use the "income inequality" angle on.
Income inequality apply's to the middle class as well, and the poorest being a minority really depends on where you live... Come to Philadelphia its rampant...
