So the way we tell the difference between private sector and public sector activities is more by the forms of governance, management, or “rules of the game” that apply to our various activities.

Mr. Rowen,
You are saying that the prospect of gaining or losing a financial incentive skews a person's beliefs and thus a person's decisions in the direction of self-interest and at the expense of public interests.
Hold that thought …

Incidentally, the following Facebook page is a good resource for learning how communities across the nation are dealing with the ongoing degradation of their public education systems.
Wear Red For Public Ed

Many people across the country are beginning to realize that there is a coordinated campaign by many State governments and corporate interests to turn back the clock on American education to something more like the systems of private privilege we once had the good sense to revolt against.

What we are seeing in this country is not really
Austerity or an Economic Downturn, but a
Vastly Unequal Distribution Of Wealth
(VUDOW Economics).
Anyone who looks around can see that there is an obscene amount of excess cash floating around, but it's all been sucked up to float the yachts of the One Per Centers while leaving the frog ponds of the peons low-down, dry, and dirty.
But if you need sadistics, here's the latest couple of items hot off my newsfeed —
Bloomberg.com • “High-Income, No-Tax Returns Jumped in 2008”
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-14/high-income-no-tax-returns-almost-doubled-in-2008-irs-says.html
<quote>
The number of people who reported incomes of at least $200,000 and paid no U.S. taxes jumped 79.5 percent from 2007 to 2008, according to an Internal Revenue Service study released today in Washington.

The Feral Conservative • “Teachers and CEOs”

<quote>
What about merit pay for teachers — just like the private sector?
Jeffery Immelt was CEO of General Electric and in a ten year period, Jeffery managed to drive the value of the stock so low that his shareholders (the equivalent of a teacher's students), suffered a 58% loss of their investment. What was Jeffery's merit pay for this ten year period? He took home a handsome $125 million dollars. Yeah, old Jeffery is really making sacrifices, just like the rest of us in these hard times.
