He isn't buying votes. Try again.
Yes he is, how does he get one vote without promising the have nots getting free education on into college. Getting free health care. He keeps offering free, free, free. He is lying, it all costs. Someone will pay.
He is buying votes with other people's money.
Person A has little education, makes $30k a year and pays little to no taxes. Person A then gets some education and makes $55k a year and pays more taxes. Over person A's lifetime he pays back more in taxes than the government paid in education assistance for him. It is called investing in America. Radical I know.
I need to know a little more about Person A. Is he/she married and do they have any kids?
What kind of guarantee can I get that Person A getting more educated will produce the results you say?
If investing in that person's education is such a good thing, why doesn't Person A invest in his own rather than expecting the government to do it for him/her or his/her kids?
I like the way you think. This is why I look at who sits on the board of places like the Heritage Foundation and Cato. You know, those folks that own the Republicans and, more specifically, the Tea Party.
You would expect those who say something is such a good investment to be practicing it on a personal level before demanding others be forced to do it on a larger scale. In other words, if those who say funding education for someone else's kids think it's a good idea, how many have they voluntarily taken and educated with their own money?
I want a guarantee that what they say will happen as a result of investing will produce what they say. I've had more than one ask me if any of my investments didn't do well. To be honest, not all have done as well as I wanted. However, there is one difference between what I choose to do and this "investment". I chose what I invested in and if it didn't do well, it was a choice I made not one someone else made for me.
