Are made for children. A popular quote from 1890 to 1910. That's what we are going back to.

In capitalism, everyone and every thing is fair game. If a capitalist can exploit it for cheap labor or profit, you can bet he will try. Turning the education of our children into just another profit center for a rich man, is how capitalism rolls.

To keep from turning every important function into a profit center, you are going to have to change your economic system.
