Privatization means either guaranteed profits (out of the tax-generated income stream) or it means being able to buy public property at dirt prices.
There's no free market in there anywhere.
Laugh's on us.

^^^^^ CB: Wojtek, with respect comrade , smiles, I think it is important to emphasize that charter schools are not private schools and shifts to charter schools are not privatization. CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE ON WELFARE ! THEY R NOT SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESSES , OR PRIVATE ENTERPRISES. THEY DON'T CHARGE TUITION. THEY USE TAX MONEY. ( not yelling _at_ u, Woj; yelling to those who have this illusion) ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
