I agree with LS, the core problem here is the Federal Reserve. They can bribe the states to do anything because they literally have infinite money.

I'm interested in looking for a bottom up solution to these kinds of problems, a way to combat this without going through the governments corrupt infrastructure. Like possibly with an influx of private companies supporting private schools to increase their competitiveness and lower their prices.

The hardest part will be meeting the ridiculous government regulations put on private schools. But that could be overcome with meeting the bare minimum. I could see it now, private schools barely pass all government standards but the students who come out Excel in life at a far greater ratio.

not if they got all those that worked for them to do it with them.

No Payroll tax, no business tax nothing from any person in their business. It would take a group of business men to organize it, but at least 1/3 of the country to pull it off.

Remove the revenue and what does the fed really have left?

I'm surprised you think that would work. It's a huge risk with little chance of paying anything out. We have to find a way to align intrests so the people at the bottom profit and so do the corporations. With the method you proposed the big business leaders would be destroyed in the minds of the common man. You would Also have to convince the boards of directors and shareholders to all stop at the same time as well. Otherwise the people who withheld their money would go to jail and they would be replaced by someone with less rigid principles. Any solution should involve benefiting the majority of people.

The only bottom up method that i think would work is if you got enough private business owners and/or boards on corporations to agree to all refuse to pay federal income, FICA and social security taxes all together all at once.

Cut of the money and everything would have to change. It took 55 men risking everything they had and and the support of 13 colonies to change the world once. Such a determined group of people willing to risk everything working together could do it again. This is the only method I have ever thought of that I think would work without simply playing into the hands of some despot grabbing power.

All of the schools crap goes back to Fed funding.... And the Fed isn't even supposed to be involved in schools. WE let this happen.
