So free college, why not free everything?

[Misty]

Free college. Free houses. Free cars. Free food. Free clothes.

All the houses, cars, food, clothes, etc, would have to be identical to make it fair.

Give your paycheck straight to the government and let the government completely take care of you and when you want or need something you go to the government, like you would your parents and ask them for a new toothbrush, a facelift, a bathing suit, a glass of water.

Why not?

How about affordable college so that our kids don't end up with $100,000 or more in debt to start their working life with? Kids that are strapped with massive debt do not have extra money to spend. It's important to understand why our consumer based economy is so sluggish. Millionaires do not drive the economy. Ordinary everyday working people do. When they are strapped with excessive debt, the economy does not thrive.

Why should I pay for your kids to go to college! I don't want to pay for it.

Have you even bothered to look into the proposals for college? Of course not, you happily pay for useless defense spending though.

You can give me all the excuses in the world it's just another thing I have to pay for it that doesn't help me on anyway.

Of course, you do realize your taxes would virtually not be affected at all with the current proposals in circulation, especially the one with Bernie? Your 401k might take a TINY, and I mean tiny hit. If you have one.

I don't happily pay for shit. I'm forced to pay for it.

Sucks to be you. Did you use a highway this week? Drink clean water from tap?

Our roads should be paved in gold for all the money I give the government.

We can't drink water here. Drought. :/

California can't even give water to its citizens. That's what I pay for.

Yeah, and I pay for it too, through taxes and a high water bill. Do you?

Thank the massive farm industry and bottled water/rich people wasting water.

Of course I do, all americans pay taxes in some way, even if they are to poor to get taxed on some level.

Except for the ones that get paid for sitting on their asses. Can we tax them?

Types of Taxes – Income, Property, Goods, Services, Federal, State
Idiot.

 

[ScienceRocks]

College is a investment. You want a population that can compete in high paying fields if you want a healthy American economy.

Of course, the republicans want everyone to be a low waged slave!

[ScienceRocks]

What the republicans need to understand is the poor and the lower middle class can't afford college. This is why so many people are in debt...If they can't do college then they have much less opportunity to get a decent paying job that is middle class. Upward mobility is going down because of this!

Computer science, math, physics, science, engineering, etc should be encouraged! Want high paying jobs instead of McDonald? Well, it isn't 50 years ago when a person could pay for it working part time. It is a economic investment that makes sense because it makes our people more capable of moving upwards.

There's a reason we bring in a shit load of h1b's.

Then who is paying for their government assistance that they spend on those taxes??? Obozo's magic unicorn????

Except that an educated population is the pillar of a proper republic:

"It is better for the poorer classes to have the aid of the richer by a general tax on property, than that every parent should provide at his own expence for the education of his children, it is certain that every Class is interested in establishments which give to the human mind its highest improvements, and to every Country its truest and most durable celebrity."
-- James Madison; from letter to W.T. Barry (Aug. 4, 1822)

Yep, all people should take a single class in political science! This way they'd understand that not everything is pure capitalism or socialism! They'll see that social-democracy is by far the best mixture.

No more infrastructure??? Just free shit???

There's a reason we bring in a shit load of h1b's.

Yeah..........there is.............about 20 to 30k difference a year on wages...................
As Americans graduate in the same fields and lose a potential job to someone out of country who will work for less.........

Wake up and smell what you are shoveling.......................

You make it sound like we don't have educated and qualified people here which is utter bs............You keep talking about education perhaps you need it more than most..................

You want to go to college........STUDY...........SAVE..............AND do it.........like the others before you have done...............If not..............flip the burgers.............

 

[Misty]

I am so done paying for everyone else's shit.

Pay for your own shit.

I fail to understand the reasoning you're using. We live in a civilized society that collects taxes, the taxes are allocated to different things, college is an investment for the future, prices of text books/tuition just keep going up..

I pay more than my fair share.

I don't want to pay for your college.

I've heard it all before. I don't believe it.

It will inch it's way up and less and less of it will go to what it was allocated for, I've seen it my whole life.

Not only that we will continue to pay for other countries' college educations.

They will send their kids here so Americans can pay for their kids.

I say no more.
