For instance, my clinic provided a local high school with sufficient funding to construct and equip a pre-nursing medical sciences lab for the specific purpose of interesting and preparing students for entry into post high school medical education programs. We received nothing in return other than a brief ceremony celebrating the opening and our clinics name as part of labs name.

In the richest country on the planet (infact in most countries) there is no reason why that should happen. We have plenty of resources to give schools everything they need. The problem is private companies and individuals hold too much of these resources and the state is either too afraid or too tied up with these individuals to alter that. If the richest were properly taxed and even more so were blocked from acquiring such a perverse control of resources, then schools and all public services could be properly funded by the revenue generated within the state.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
