Exactly. That's why free primary and secondary education, while technically wrong, is hard to fight - it gives people the chance. Are you telling me that everyone in your high school was smart and willing to move but were held back? As I recall, very few kids cared about moving ahead. In fact, most didn't care about moving, period. They get what they deserve naturally (their lives won't be very fulfilling when they aren't trying, otherwise) and a government that steps out of it ensures that reality is the final arbiter.

That I should work hard to create what I want to create, make millions in my career, be mocked for it because somehow by my honest effort I created money that must have been stolen or ripped from the hands of the proletarian or something, and then given to these idiots from high school, now the elderly, when I'm an elder because they didn't spend their money productively? How is that even remotely justice?
