Vouchers vs. Education Savings Accounts

“Not all school choice programs are created equal. Since ESAs allow for enhanced specialization and price differentiation, I expect that they will outperform voucher programs. More importantly, since ESAs are more well-grounded in accepted economic theory, I expect they will allow children to have access to an enhanced educational experience and a better life.”

This Kind of School Choice Is Superior to Vouchers | Corey DeAngelis

ESAs are more flexible than school vouchers and do more to incentivize competition in education.

Upon discovering that Frank’s Fish Stick Factory has 6 unfilled job openings and is employing 6 over-educated workers .. As mayor I’ve decided to shut down and defund several public schools to lower the public level of education and bring the labor force more in line with the business climate ..

You do not own the border

You do not own the border.

You own your property: your income, your house, your car.

But the border is not your property. It does not belong to any one person. The border belongs to an aggregate of individuals on both sides of the border who own the land alongside it.

If you are one of those individuals who owns property along the border you have a right to prevent an immigrant from setting foot on your property.

But if an immigrant wants to cross the border to visit me on my property, what right is it of yours to prevent that freedom of movement from taking place.

Certainly, you have a right to keep that immigrant off your property, but you have no right to keep that immigrant off my property.

The country should not have a right to force you to give to it, through taxation or eminent domain, pieces of your property, but neither should you have a right to prevent the travel of an immigrant across property that does not belong to you destined for other property that does not belong to you; temporarily or otherwise.

If I want an immigrant to stay on my property, what right do you have to prevent them from crossing the border.

The country, collectively, isn’t your property anymore than my house or my income, collectively, isn’t your property.

Subsequently, if an immigrant acquires their own property, through income or purchase of land, what right do you have to prevent them from crossing the border across land that does not belong to you destined for property that belongs to them.

You all have an unhealthy relationship with a government that collectively steals property via taxation and eminent domain, and now want to use the government to collectively exert forcefully your will on border adjacent properties that do not belong to you.

This is a problem and not the way to Liberty.

Liberals must examine all the reasons why we keep losing elections. Democrats have gone from the party that protects people to the party that protects feelings.

I encourage decentralization and nullification .. With Trump running the show, perhaps California will now learn to love the 2nd and 10th amendments ..

“Should California wish to ignore federal laws, the federal government can and should withhold federal spending from California. The sooner states get used to making do with less federal money, the better. Indeed, federal spending is critical in expanding centralized federal power. If federal spending loses its importance as a source of funding for state governments, the US will become increasingly decentralized.”

“This sort of state independence cuts both ways, however. If California establishes — yet again — that states can ignore and even inhibit federal arrests and prosecutions in the states, then it becomes all the easier for other states to refuse to enforce federal gun laws, federal drug laws, Obamacare, or federal mandates that states provide welfare programs and “free” taxpayer-funded services to non-citizens.”

“The down side to this, of course, is that many productive Americans will be left holding the bag of funding California’s many grandiose welfare schemes for immigrants and others. This, however, is preferable to all Americans being on the hook for the same. And, it’s hard to see why the California tail should wag the American dog. If California wishes to expand a welfare state on its own, or set its own immigration priorities, let Californians pay for it.”

[ California pays more in federal taxes than it receives, so at current federal tax rates, and current level of government spending, it would be a cost savings ..

This of course does not take into account financial crises when California begs the Federal government for bailout money and Arnold hands out IOUs .. With an economy dependent on tech (wall street) and real estate, both of which go south pretty quickly, and without our own printing press, we’re not as financially independent of the federal government as we want to believe ..

If another financial crisis hits, Trump might threaten to cut off federal funds instead .. Then we’ll find out if Jerry Brown’s IOUs are any better than Arnold’s IOUs were ..

But I digress ]

“So, let’s make every state a sanctuary from federal gun laws, federal immigration law, federal drug laws, federal election laws, and more.”

Make Every State a Sanctuary State

CBS reports that “California may prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, creating a border-to-border sanctuary in the nation’s largest s

The wall is a dumb idea .. Deregulate the border ..

Also a 20% tariff will be made up very quickly by a 20% devaluation of the Mexican peso vs. the US dollar after their economy shrinks .. You’ll be back where you started except with even more Mexican immigrants ..

Rinse and repeat ..

“The wall would cause harm because human beings are “the ultimate resource” .. Human ingenuity and creativity are the most valuable and productive forces known. They are at the root of our technology and productive enterprise. As long as people are free to use their ingenuity and creativity, and held responsible for their actions, they produce more than they consume. They generate net wealth which they exchange with one another.”

“This means that in a free country, the more people the better. Our policy should be open borders for all who wish to live here peaceably and work. The proposed wall would reduce standards of living in America (not to mention those of would-be immigrants seeking a better life).”

“Immigrants do take some jobs that people born in America might otherwise hold. But that does not mean fewer jobs for the American born. Why not? Because as long as people have unsatisfied needs and wants – that is, forever – there is work to do. People, the ultimate resource, discover new ways to satisfy unsatisfied wants, and they put themselves and others to work in doing so.”

Trump’s Proposed Wall and Tax Are Folly | Howard Baetjer Jr.

Trump’s wall would cause harm because human beings are “the ultimate resource.” In a free country, the more people the better.
