Quote:Actually if a private company fails to fix pot holes as in your example they would lose the contracts of the people in that area to maintain the roads. As for education almost anything would be better then what we have today. 

not all together true...there is no guarentee they would lose the contracts especially if they were the low bidder...As for education, you can't satisfy everyne so there would always be whiners and cheerleaders...there would be non stop lawsuits over everything...The "people" owning big business woulld never work as "the people" would all have a different view of how things should be done, so "the people"  would be fighting for control because they would all think their way of doing things is better tahn anyone else's...EVERYONE can't own EVERYTHING, no one would agree on anything...You need to look deeper into socialism and see what it REALLY is...When you figure out what it REALLY is, you will see why it can't work...Imagine everyone in the USA owning every single power company, every single oil company, every railroad, every company in every industry, every farm, every mill, every meat processing plant, every newspaper, tv station, every cable company every cell phone company...
