And to the rest of your comment - paying in taxes and getting universal benefits benefit society as a whole, not just the poor.

I think it was finland that got rid of private schools, and all of aa sudden schools got WAY better , for everyone.

Insulating people with wealth from everyone else is an overt societal negative. People are their experiences, and if you go through life without meeting people with different experiences than you, you grow up in a bubble.

Having everyone be able to enjoy life and not having a govt bought off that laser focuses on making a small class of people even richer is their goal, not solidarity with a certain class.

Finland has good results because of the methods of teaching, not because of the ownership of the schools. We have a school on this system in my town and 2 kids in the family went there, the system is better even if the school is ... private.
