Duno. All that seems to follow from your example is that it's done badly by quite a few people, and worse in some places than others, so there's got to be something some of those parents could learn (from other parents or through another avenue. Further, unchecked liberty is just as stupid as totalitarian planning. Also, I get the feeling it's used as an excuse for any parental wrongdoing, as well as to absolve the rest of society of all responsibility when it comes to explaining why so many kids turn out bad.
If you've got 10-40 million people who are hardly trained to do any work at all, you're wasting lots of good bodies for nothing.

Who actually pays corporate income tax? Why the customers, of course. It's a cost of business just like labor, and advertizing. it's not even progressive, except in the sense that luxury products are bought by rich people...

Don't be silly. With all those companies posting billion dollar profits? The only ones who might get less are the shareholders, but *shrug*.
