Yep. Free college, free healthcare, free housing (I’ve heard this), etc. - all attainable but non-existent because of the evil 1%. It is all they hear. Rinse, repeat. They’re ignorant of the fact that the majority of tax receipts are already paid by the top 10%.
The best way to make something more expensive is for the government to make it “free”.
Crazy.
Whereas I understood it as soon as Obama took Federal control of student loans in his first SOTU speech.
I love that we need “free” college - is there a current problem with colleges filling their campuses? No - as a matter of fact, most decent colleges/universities turn away students. So - what do we accomplish by making it free other than driving up the cost? Understanding of the law of supply and demand is not the Democrat’s strong point it would seem on the surface - although I would argue their intent is to collapse the system so they can totally control it.
Another good article on the situation:
