You know why all this rich politicians like FDR and the Kennedy's are in favor of high taxes on wages don't you?
It's because they have a lot of wealth (stored money already taxed) and very small if any wages.
Taxing wages is how the Rich keep the poor pushed down and make the 'rest' of America pay for government programs.
Bring up taxing wealth and watch those "NIMBY's" go crazy ... I do advise doing so in a public place.

This doesn't make sense ... I'm not aware of the US Government offering free college to anyone but through the GI Bill which could be considered compensation in the form of a benefit.
Please enlighten me on this point?

The other format works fine.
If you don't think it does then don't post the tweet at all. It's freaking annoying.
mustve been referring to UK.
but college was much cheaper domestically adj for inflation in the past. i think NYU was free if i remember right

Yep, she misread the voters big time.
The UK pundits were saying it was because of two reasons:
1) She is part of THE ESTABLISHMENT in UK
2) The Radical Islam attacks in UK since she called the election 7 weeks ago. (Note: The reasoning for this was not explained but everyone nodded their heads.)
I watched BBC a bit tonight since the Comey testimony was a big bust today ... much ado about nothing.

He doesn't want to read them anyways. If pictures didn't work would you write a paragraph describing the picture, or find something else to post?
If it doesn't work don't post it.

Several local governments have offered free college tuition as various times in the last 50 years.
It seems it was limited to certain fields of study based on local industry needs.
Mostly Technical in nature.
Don't get me wrong ... I fully support funded college and Technical education in selected fields and Universal Healthcare (like Medicare) once the funding is in place.
For instance, no one should get government funding for English, philosophy, history and certain other unneeded fields of study with few jobs open in the real world.
Also, no government funding for housing or food or transportation ... encourage kids to live at home and go to college. Community colleges should be the first choice if within 30 miles. Etc, etc., etc.
heres soemthing i thought of: would you also be against government funding of military housing, food, transportation? and if so, why?
i dont believe education solely as a means to get a job. its supposed to teach people how to think, not what to think.
ill clean it up more, i understand your criticism.

1) I think the Armed Forces personnel are not paid well but their benefits are pretty good. I would have no issues with the US Government 'funding of military housing, food, transportation' or for education. I think their total compensation should be commensurate with a similar job in the private industry.
2) I believe US Government funding for education should only be provided in order to get a job where there is a need.
If an individual wants to get a degree in a field other than 'where there is a need', the US Government should not be funding that study.

Stop posting tweets altogether. This forum is intended for your (ricky booby) personal thoughts. Adding links to support one's position is also welcome. Tweets and re-tweets are not.

Nobody cares. Even if you try to keep spending the exact same year to year, that is called a "cut", and you are accused of wanting to starve children, etc. We are doomed.
thats exactly what bill clinton did when he "reformed" (actually deformed) welfare.
when i post other people's tweets it means i think i agree
