[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Straw man doesn't me a what you think it means[/quote] It is a straw man, because the family in the hypothetical wouldn't be bypassing private because "they don't want to pay what someone charges you," they'd be bypassing because they can't rationally afford private. If your position is that private school tuition should not be priced so that every family can rationally afford private school, that's fine. If your position is that the assumptions in the hypothetical are too conservative (e.g., you think a family of 4 has more than $120k available even after cutting out the fat on a $250k net income), that's fine. Many of the responses here keep flipping back and forth between the two arguments.[/quote] All "rationally afford" it means is "what I want to pay"[/quote]
