Actually, I agree - but the Frank's assumption that I was responding to was
that corperations would invest in education because the job market would become
so tight due to the benefits of Libertarianism.
You could probably conjecture that under a Libertarian system, companies would
start taking a longer view?
Companies sponser high-school kids just now, that is 5-10 years foresight in
our existing system!

Libertarian documentation speaks of private charities, which I'm assuming is
something that takes donations and doles out the money to respective services?
Or does each service have its separate private charity?
Also mentioned is tax-credit incentives for people who pay money to a charity.
If the incentives differ for each charity then the individual is coorced into
supporting services which they don't want to.
