Money? The government can't pay them enough to make it worth their while without taxes. Advertisement? Make the company more popular? I dread to think of what will happen if advertisement becomes the founding block of our schools. For example, do you think that if McDonalds gave kids a "good education" and told them how unhealthy their food is, that the kids and their families would go there later? They won't. So McDonalds will tell them whatever it takes to increase their own business.
Furthermore, if a company is advertising all over the place thanks to their control of [insert element of modern society here], it means that they have to be getting enough money to make it worth their while.
Take government out of the equation. Now a demand has risen for someone to fulfill the tasks that govt doesn't do. I didn't say corporations, I said companies. Entrepreneurs and companies are going to fill the gap. Since people don't pay taxes for education that money will go towards tuition fees if necessary. Let's go with your McD's analogy. Just like when I described how companies would build roads there's a reputation, ultimately money, incentive for them to do a great job. Add in competition from neighboring schools or competing companies and there's more incentive to be great and to keep striving for greatness. All this competition applies to teachers, material taught, ethics, health, etc. So your worry about bias, though founded, is almost moot. I could easily see them build a restaurant inside the school but they'd have to offer other choices or they'd get no customers (children).

So? Then they should continue to do what they're doing or find something that isn't being provided or provide something of higher of quality.

That's a huge stretch. There's always going to be a need for education because people need/want to learn. Always a need for sanitation...that's self-explanatory
. Public transportation may not always be needed but where there is a market for something someone will provide it.

I still ultimately disagree with taxes but with a govt as big as we have something has to support it. Which is why we should cut all the fat off govt. About govt paying salary, there's an author named Donald Kirchinger who wrote
Government Without Taxes. I haven't read it and couldn't find specifics online but at least one person has an idea.
I'm fairly new to the libertarian movement so while I don't know the ins-and-outs I do have a good understanding of the mindset. I have yet to come across a govt program that couldn't be done as good or better than in a free market economy.
The republican party as a whole, the last few years (not only G. Bush Jr), has driven up taxes and the economy has been in chaos.
