The usefulness of privatisation of the main public services is yet to be proved....I doubt it can ever be a useful tool in bid to provide society with a decent standard of education (companies always have a vested interest in what the people believe to be true), health care (is it morally right that monetary matters even enter any debate when we are talking about somebodys well being?). The police (who polices the police if they are run and owned by self serving companies with agendas - companies will always have agendas - they want to make money). The prison system (so companies will now have a VESTED interest in the continuation of crime and new victims - INSANE!!!).
Can anybody from the right please explain how they can support proposals to privatise public services when these obvious problems exist??
Not a conservative or part of the "right" but I do value the free market
Government doesn't deliver a decent standard of education. And all the problems of vested interest are apparant (for more apparant) in government because it holds an actual, or effective, monopoly on the service and is guaranteed funding no matter how well it serves the customer (student)
I'm not going to go into Healthcare, Police etc. as that's a long discussion and and I quite frankly can't be arsed with it but education is something which definitely should be left completely to the market. For those who couldn't afford it (even with the huge decline in price that would follow) they could be given the funds to choose their own school. But, with that said, with the technology available to us now mixed with the innovation of the or part of the right, because in truth market I doubt it would even be needed. It's in the interest of the educator to give them free education in order to be paid back at a later date when the student gets a job.
On a side note, I believe there's a phenomena starting in China with regards healthcare whereby you pay the doctor a set amount each month whilst you are healthy and when you get sick you get your treatment for free. It is thus in the interest of the doctor to keep you healthy. It'll be interesting how this fares.
You cant be arsed about a debate on things that are so significant to our country. I suppose that sums the far right up. You say you are not conservative or part of the right because in reality you are one of those tea party nutjobs that live in the USA, totally unaware of what your fucking stupid free market values do to society.
I abhor people as baseless as you, you have no compassion, you have no reason and you hate society. Im so glad i dont live in your world of me me and the world of individulism that Ann rand portrayed. Humans have to work together to be there best, like it or not the the right wing ideology you espouse has never worked and never will
