As long as Mike continues to accept Section 8 approved tenants(which is a choice), then he is indeed hypocritical and his personal credibility does suffer with some of his Big government arguments. Even though I think most of those arguments do have merit.

Of course your not going to debate it any longer because you have no leg to stand on. Instead of following what you claim to believe and stopping the subsidies you will instead just ignore the truth and continue on taking hand-outs in one hand and typing ridiculous rants with the other.

Actually propertymanager is true to his beliefs.  I don’t want to put words in his mouth but if you believe in privatization, you believe that privates business can do a better job at doing most functions including social services.  What Mike is doing is replacing the government housing projects with private housing.  He is actually doing a better job (providing a better building, better maintenance response, and enforcing a better quality of life) while he makes a profit on it.  The two are not inconsistent so the act is not hypocritical.

brockovich,
I agree that public education is failing most students.  Most students do not even know which countries BORDER THE UNITED STATES.  Ask them!

Here the schools feed the kids breakfast.  At least they get a bowl of Cheerios before sitting down to study.

We are losing our excellence and furthering an entire underclass because of the public schools.  Paying for private education should get the taxpayer a break on their taxes.  And all home schooled kids should meet minimal annual test standards.  Otherwise loser parents just say, "They're home-schooled", and the kids watch TV all day.  And never learn how to do long division or figure out a percentage problem.

Furnished makes a great point. Parents that have children that are in danger of not being promoted will sometimes pull their kids out of their public school to "home school" them in order for them to advance. Their is a boy on my son's flag football team whose Mom did exactly that. Now he reads and "studies" while BOTH of his parents are at work. Where will he be in 5-6 years? Graduating at the bottom of his class and failing out of community college.
