Perhaps because, even if they happen to be rich themselves, do not favor helping the wealthy by further impoverishing the poor. Actually I think liberals dont hate the rich so much as the politicians who pander to them.

You do know that the data is clear, a college education translates into a significantly higher income over one's lifetime than not getting a college degree, correct? Few argue that tuition costs are not exorbitant and out of control. Oddly enough, the folks who say something similar to what you have said are also the folks who argue against reducing the debt load of college students.

Now, what type of high-paying occupation would you reccomend for a person graduating high school that does not require a higher education?

Maybe part of the problem is that so many employers still insist on a college degree for work that a high-school or vocational-school graduate could easily perform.

This is the point at which the analogy officially dies.

I see someone changed my thread title.

I specifically mentioned the greedy rich, not the generous rich. I find liberals and conservatives alike liking generous people more.

This explains all my rep points.

Actually, they like the poor so much they want to make more of them.

I've been trying for years to get these "I hate the Rich" folks to state Exactly what they consider "Rich".
I've never gotten an answer to that question.
