The answer is simple. Charge tuition and forget about getting funding from the state. The state needs to get out of the education business even if the constitution needs amended. Forcing people to pay for other people children is immoral and is theft. Public education causes education and income disparity. It needs to be abolished.

You don't know what your taking about. All economies are barter. Currency is nothing more than a "universal Bater card". The distortions you are talking about along with the creation of big corporations are nothing more than the result of fiat money, central banking, taxes, legal tender laws, and regulations all of which increase income and wealth disparity. There is no such thing as an equal distribution of wealth or income, nor could there ever be because everyone is different right down to their DNA with different needs and resources are limited. However income and wealth are more equally distributed when people are left alone to purchases their own goods and services without political interference and with sound money.

Bankers and financiers create money out of thin air in order to pay for things with money that does not exist. In this way they can get huge bonuses by selling more money to corporations, businesses, institutions, etc. And large financiers, large businesses, and big governments have access to an ever increasing flow of "new money" that can create business and political opportunities, finance political ambitions, make huge economies of scale, partner with government, etc all in an effort to put small business, including "mom & pop" business, out of business. Because of this, smaller businesses are forced to compete on lower economies of scale, workers wages are forced lower in an effort to contain cost, less qualified and cheaper goods are produce in a vain effort to save money, burdensome regulation increases, taxes rise, favors and subsidies for the elite few arise, people are forced to "finance" there way to prosperity, and the manufacturing base leaves to the country that can manipulate their fiat currency the most, while the existing economy turns to a service economy for the well educated and well off. Throw in a financial bubble which destroys wealth from time to time, include the consumer debt consumers need in order to afford inflation, and the result is that the masses get poorer over time, while the few get richer and richer. Thus the hourglass effect is created

People have been tricked into believing that the lucrative jobs and expensive houses they acquire are due to their industry and talent, when in fact they are the result of the over-printing of money. The aftermath of this is the real cause of the financial crises. What really needs to happen is to privatize the public sector, shrink the role of government, end income, property, and sales taxes, end most federal regulating agencies, end government social spending, and change the money supply from a unlimited, debt driven, currency to an natural limited, tangible based, non fiat money, non banking currency system.

The less money the government takes, the more money we make, which means the more we can spend, which means the more goods and services we can buy, which means more jobs, which means more profits and prosperity, which means more bank deposits and investments made, which means more revenue to the government (not necessary good), less dependency on government, and higher quality of life.

The "hourglass economy" is another result of fiat currency. Bankers and financiers create money out of thin air in order to pay for things with money that does not exist. In this way they can get huge bonuses by selling more money to corporations, businesses, institutions, etc. And large financiers, large businesses, and big governments have access to an ever increasing flow of "new money" that can create business and political opportunities, finance political ambitions, make huge economies of scale, partner with government, etc all in an effort to put small business, including "mom & pop" business, out of business. This is called crony capitalism. Because of this, smaller businesses are forced to compete on lower economies of scale, workers wages are forced lower in an effort to contain cost, less qualified and cheaper goods are produce in a vain effort to save money, burdensome regulation increases, taxes rise, favors and subsidies for the elite few arise, people are forced to "finance" there way to prosperity, and the manufacturing base leaves to the country that can manipulate their fiat currency the most, while the existing economy turns to a service economy for the well educated and well off. Throw in a financial bubble which destroys wealth from time to time, include the consumer debt consumers need in order to afford inflation, and the result is that the masses get poorer over time, while the few get richer and richer. Thus the hourglass effect is created

What we are seeing today is the implosion of government run economies around the world and the end of progressivism. For too long governments have been spending money that does not exist and now it is catching up to them. As long as people, in mass, are not getting new loans, government influence will shrink and those "progressive fools" are not going to like the "hope and change" that they brought about. This will probably happen over the next 30 years or more given how many americans wealth has been destroyed and it will bring about a change in currency. However, the demonized private sector will pick up the pieces and bring the world into a new renaissance period where by everyone will have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their families, as long as we don't get nuked.

Stupid congressman doesn't understand that public health care is cruel, because it denies care to those who need it the most, like the truly sick and elderly.

How's that "change" going?

"Most GOP legislators run with the full support of my union and they keep feeding the education monster."

-so, tell your union to stop contributing to all political parties, change the union leaders, or get out of the union.

Is it any parties fault that it takes money from unions? Or is it the fault of union leaders who pay them, often with out the consent of the membership?
