Choose and be free

As if Pier Ackerman wasn't bad enough yesterday, Now we have Andrew Bolts diatribe, I must say the following quote leaves me confused. "Do we want more of us to have the choice to pay for better schools and hospitals, or should we settle for the average, so that others - less rich or willing - won't feel bad or left out?"

I am willing but will never be able to afford to send my kids to private schools so where does this leave me, I suppose I am less rich.
