My point is it’s a waste of taxpayer money when people drop out . Even in the current system a lot of college is subsidized through grants etc . Even for private colleges .

The wealthy should pay more than everyone, in fact they should be paying a lot more! Why does anyone need to be rich anyway? Shouldn’t every American be the same?

I got your point. Unless the effort of getting a better education results in the completion of a degree, you feel it is a wasteful endeavor.

Understood loud and clear...

So are you saying that people who don’t have much in life are losers?

The “rich “ already pay more . No everyone shouldn’t be the same . Most people want to be rich or wealthy in order to have financial freedom. So they don’t have to work forever . Most of the rich do work but they don’t have to work which is the big difference. They also have control over the type of work they do .

I don’t see how anyone could say it’s not better to be rich . Every rich or wealthy person will tell you it’s better if they are being honest . Not a single one would say they would want to go back to being poor or middle class.

You all are certainly obsessed and eaten up with her, I will say that.


Always starting threads about her....I really didn't even know who she was, until then.

Let her be one of the few members of Congress who do not take marching orders from their Wall Street overlords. I fail to see why that is so horrible.
She will fail miserably in the House. She will not get anything remotely close to what she wants enacted. She is an idiot with the ideas of idiots.
