Let me ask you a question....do you have choice where your taxes go and what they pay for. I mean why should someone with no kids pay property taxes for a school system they do not use ?

I see personal finance is not your strong suit. Obviously people would not be permitted to trade penny stocks - privatizing would treat it like your typical 401K where you have maybe 8 mutual fund options, all appropriately diversified. If you’re investing for more than 10 years, as most of us would be, you couldn’t lose money.
