I got 1000 bucks that says "the super rich" is YOU

[Wolfstrike]

Hillary says she is going to implement free college for the nation.
When asked how she will pay for it, she said she's going to make "the super rich" "pay their fair share"

It's kind of strange because every Socialist plan taxes the working, and has caps for the rich.

I'm willing to bet "the super rich" means YOU, in the form of taxes

 

[buckeye45_73]

yep anyone making more than 25k....super rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the "rich" taxation will be the basis for free tuition (except for the "1%", who can afford to pay).
If Germany & several other countries can do it, then why not the richest country in the world????

7 countries where college is free

The left has been promising to go after the wealthy for decades and yet they never have. Middle class always gets the bill.

The only time the left go after the wealthy is when they need money for their campaigns. And, in return, they kiss their asses.

In California there was no tuition for state residents. Then Ronald Reagan became governor in '67 and one of his first decrees was establishing tuition for everyone. That priced college out of my reach and the reach of many young men who then were drafted and sent to Viet Nam. Some of them came home, still unable to afford the high cost even with the GI Bill stipend of $175/mo

Hillary's plan might help get things back to normal, for everyone in the country.

As I recall, the tuition for the University of California system went from zero to $750 per semester ($5,400 today). There were no student loans in those days. We worked our way through college, but a $10,000+/yr nut right out of the blue was catastrophic for a teenager.

how about reducing tuition at colleges and books are so fucking overpriced it's insane...reduce the cost of those.

Then the hypocritical libs, like Warren, couldn't get $350,000 a year for teaching one class.

Normal for a liberal is to give people all kinds of free stuff and send the bill to somebody else.

I'm sure you do.

With liberals, everything is tax the rich.

Free college: tax the rich.
Lower the US deficit: tax the rich.
Repair the infrastructure: tax the rich.
Cleaner air and water: tax the rich.
Paid family medical leave act: tax the rich.

No BS; looks like Al is correct.
A simple search shows that Reagan imposed expensive Tuition on UC students, who only paid minor fees prior to Reagan. Now UC students pay over $50,000 for tuition to get a BA/BS degree! How can an 18-yr-old afford that? A $100,000 loan is not easy to pay off after graduation. "Only" a $50,000 loan for non-tuition expenses is a bit easier.

The Back Bench: Tuition at the University of California (1970)

"Ronald Reagan insisted on two things upon taking office as governor of California. ...The second was the imposition of tuition on UC students. ... The Regents of the University of California also agreed to impose education fees for the first time on the university's students."

Yeah, i don't have much sympathy for the 1% rich who leech off of society.
I don't think fewer expensive cars or homes or vacations at fancy hotels or other nice shit will hurt them much, but will help the less fortunate and shared social infrastructure.

More ignorance from koolaid drinking Right Wingers.
She's defined that threshold as earnings of 5 million per year.
Now, fork over the 1k, or are you like Trump and your word means nothing?

so if liberals feel that way...why don't their super rich pay more than the current rate?

The 1% doesn't leech off of anybody. They don't need to.

It's the people who leech off of them particularly those on social programs that they never paid a dime into.

Furthermore it's not societies job to determine how much is enough for people to have. That's purely socialism. Nor is it the obligation of the wealthy to give away money to people that didn't make their own.

If you want financial equality, look at Cuba or North Korea. Everybody is equal in places like that--equally poor.

That's what what I kept asking when I was in the workforce. We're doing all the work and the shareholders are collecting the profits. How about sharing them more fairly with those of us who are producing the wealth?

Because you are not producing the wealth, you are doing a job; a job you agreed to do for X amount of money and benefits.

The people that produce wealth are those who have invested their money into the operations of providing a service or product to the customer. A worker does not do that, therefore, the worker does not share in how much profit a company makes outside of those who chose jobs that did offer profit sharing as a benefit.

It works the other way around as well. If a company if facing hard financial times because of competition or the economy, you don't work for less money. You work for the same amount of money whether the company is cleaning up or just about to close up shop.
