You got to be kidding. The US is run like church coffers compared to Canada. We are a laughing stock. Even Mexico raises and eyebrow.
LOL! Its funny how so many students get up in arms about what the govt does with respect to tuition, yet they never seem to question where any of their tax dollars are going. Everytime I ask something like that to some NDP wack job, it is like I am telling them I would like to sleep with their sister.
For example:
Them: "Ohh.... (long sigh) Don't you understand, its just sooooo hard for anyone to go to school anymore. (huffff...) Its not good for society if people aren't going to college to better themselves (snivvle). Its just too expensive with tuition and the cost of living and books.... and the poor people are at a huge disadvantage because they can't afford it, in addition to everyone else"
Me: Do you ever stop and think about the fact that the cost of living is so high because of rediculously high taxation driving up the COST OF EVERYTHING?!?! And the fact that socialist policies CREATE huge economic inequalities? Besides, where does all that money go, city streets aren't even plowed in the winter and you pay close to 40% in gas taxes?
Them: Are you kidding?!! We need to raise taxes to pay for school! The reason things are expensive is because of big corporations gouging the people. All that other money goes for healthcare! Are you not listening to what people are saying, socialists CARE about the people, that is what their policies are DESIGNED to do!!!
Me: (ugh) Riiiighhht. (sigh)
Them: Now, its time to get REALLY serious about public transportation. The LRT needs to be extended so that the poor can get to college.
Me: Umm...To install a single mile of underground LRT track costs $200 billi.....Oh forget it.
