Too funny

Very good one.

What a blanket statement you made. There is so much more to this.

Daniel Marsh, IDK about everything you said, but I do know in my state that the community colleges are only for 2 years and even a state college will cost at least $10,000 a year most likely much more. It’s not free and that’s not including books. If you’re not from the states you mentioned, you have to move there and be a resident for two years before you can take advantage of their state’s college policy.

Yeah I don't understand why there is the need to go to an 'elite' college knowing that means the fees hike up more even if the actual teaching is not better. In Australia it is based on our marks and the specific courses available at each uni. There is more supposed 'prestige' in some unis, but in reality it is only themselves saying that, employers really don't care. I didn't get the marks for my first choice uni, but I ended up loving the one I got into as it was smaller, which is what I was more used to with schools anyway. Plus, unless you are a full fee paying student (which is usually just internationals) you don't pay the fees back until you are working, and it is a percentage based on your current wage.

Well for the health care, I pay very high premiums and deductibles. For school, I had to wait until my children finished school before i could go back and I pay full tuition for my classes and books. As far as the homeless, I constantly take and deliver donations. I started a food pantry at my church that goes directly to the homeless or others in need. I sponsor children in poorer families in my community. I do what I can but I'm one person.

Eagle girl, look up the march on Wall Street fighting the 1%, or the fight against the pipeline, or the bank bailout after the housing bubble busted. Those did it for me. We live in a Capitalistic Democracy, Capitalism being the major player here. The people do not have power. Decisions are made to benefit the wealthy. I love the people in my country but not the country as a whole because I know it does not have my best interest at heart and never will.
