Are you sure that education isn't the product -- students the raw 
material?  Sure, taxpayers are a factor as customers.

Sounds like you're a republican.  
I'm a firm believer in waking up the taxpayer on economics.
Let's take the "Trickle Down" theory.  Republicans would have you 
believe that it's just fine to run workers at slave wages and 
when the rich feel like it they can build parks and libraries.
What's wrong with an honest wage -- what the rich would have made 
off with and donated according to whim is NOW taxable income -- 
those taxes can now be used as society collectively sees the need 
and -- more often than not -- putting others down the line to work 
as well.  The cycle continues.
...and honest working families would be able to support not only 
themselves but their communities as well -- with dignity.
...for the Deming TQM fans out there that's called OWNERSHIP.
...recognise anything missing from *our* society?
