SO, physix, no answer on the fact that a flat tax for 10% would cut the tax income of the government by more than half?

A big reason private schools "waste" less money is they don't have to cater to the lowest common denominator and they don't have to teach kids with special needs like retardation, autism, etc. Those conditions are a HUGE drain on a school's resources.

Kerry's plan for a tax break is a break for the 98% who own less than 60% of the nation's wealth. He wants to tax the rich e.g., himself and his wife and his running mate, unlike Bush, who wants a cut for himself and his cabinet of millionaires.

Finally, Hwed, it's not hopelessness, it's realism. There's a reason less than 1% of the country is "high-net-worth" individuals.
