There are only four groups in OR left for them to tap.
Home owners
Intel and its employees
Nike and its employees
Private companies

I expect all four to get targeted by Socialist Oregon in its drive to give free everything to those who want it.

The insurmountable problem that redistributionists have is capitalism produces all the things they wish to redistribute.

Redistributionism/socialism/communism produces nothing that can be redistributed other than misery and despair.

If it’s limited by income, how can it be free?

Free means free to anyone.

If it’s “free” to people based on income, then it’s just vote-buying.

I labeled Oregon, Oregone about a decade ago.

In those 10 years, the facist/communists in charge of Oregone have basically destroyed a beautiful state with their everything is free if you are a liberal.

In the words attributed to Margaret Thatcher, “”The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money [to spend].”.

I learned at an early age that the secret to success is to “under promise, and over deliver”. Democrats have it exactly backwards. They over-promise, and under-deliver.

Thus, their many social failures, and slow, steady, demise.

“Free! Free is good! Socialism rules! Oh, wait ...”

*************

There’s a strong human tendency to want something for nothing. That’s why socialism is appealing to many. The notion of free stuff, less work, and the great utopian allure of economic equality.

Most people prefer to take the “easy road”. Politicians exploit this innate human desire everyday. False promises get them votes.

The problem, of course, is that socialism has never worked. But that reality is never acknowledged by those who profit from pushing it. They are not unlike drug dealers IMO.

You could replace “tuition” with “healthcare” and it will demonstrate how a single-payer system would operate.

Are more students completing community college programs? Are they getting better jobs? Are more students going on to a four year degree? If you can’t answer the above questions then the program isn’t a success.

Also as I’ve said before, if the state pays for your education, then the state gets to tell you what you are going to to study, and what your career is going to be.
