You've heard the saying, "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for life" or some other way of saying it.
President Obama and the left in this country are the ones who want to give a man a fish. The reason why is because once that man learns to fish, he will no longer be dependent on the government and the government will loose control of that man.
The left in this country has been working for a very long time making every citizen dependent on the government. It's the only way anyone on the left can get elected to office now. The regular citizen will vote for anybody on the left as long as they keep getting stuff and they don't care what else the left does to this country. As long as their belly is full, they don't care.
It's a shame really.
I'd hardly recommend that anyone choose fishing as a career nowadays.
But to your point, the proverb is about the value of educational opportunity. Do you seriously want to argue that Republicans/conservatives are a better choice to provide the opportunity for an education,
especially for those not fortunate enough to have the means to afford it themselves,
than are the Democrats?
How? Conservatives want the 'market' to prevail in all matters economic, which translates into if you can afford an education, you get one, if not, too bad.
If you can afford a Lexus, you get one, if not, too bad.
