Presumably, if a society as a whole gets richer from educating the
poor, companies will donate enough to make it possible.

The big fallacy is that the vast majority of companies don't look
further ahead than next quarter, up to a year or maybe 5 years at the
very most.

Urgh! *shudder of fear* Taxes don't seem so bad when the alternative is hoping
that corperations suddenly become altruistic towards society.


PS. Please don't take my tone personally, the impact that Libitarian policies
could have is just sinking in to me.. although I may have misinterpreted :)

I had that epiphany a few months ago. Same subject, actually.

Well I could be totally squiffy... it's happened before you know :)

(...) Fortunately, Libertarian theory doesn't require ANYONE to be altruistic, although I can't speak for libitarian guff, whatever that is. (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
