Give every kid $15k/yr, charge $15k/yr for public school, let the kid choose which school to attend. At worst, you get a public education. Maybe you can pay a little more for something better, or maybe even a little less for something better private.

Instead of auto-buying these services for people, you could give them a stipend and let them choose which private service they're going to spend it on. Gov collecting taxes to pay for services doesn't mean they need to provide the services themselves. In fact, it's a conflict.

One way to think about it financially is that the government provides citizens with a call option on services that are available when needed. That option is valuable, and so taxes are needed regardless of whether you exercise the option or not.

You can have both, and the private police would have to give way to the public police, provided the public police are doing their duty and not breaking the law. The demand on public police would be greatly reduced if people had a stipend to buy private help.

That would be a convenient solution for an unnecessary evil. So governments would send us monthly notices for... - do you opt in our security - do you opt in our education When there is mass exodus, politicians are like - do you opt my position in 😂😂😂😂
