1. Only the rich 'deserve' an education.

It is insane to think all citizens of the U.S. would benefit from an education

or vocational training.

Poor people don't need to be educated.

If poor people don't need to be educated, they certainly don't need health care.

We have the war on terror, the spying complex, policing, the war on drugs, Wall Street, CEO's,

global corporations, and war profiteers who's needs and wants come first.

Then in the next sentence the 'establishment' will fear monger with statements

like Social Security is going broke.

We are being told there is no point in dreaming because our dreams are unattainable.

We are being told to accept and expect scraps from the millionaire's and billionaires

running for office or already in office.

It is disgusting.

I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to, not that she couldn't figure out how.

It all has to do with keeping as much money in the 1%'s hands as possible. Taxes on WS speculation would be a non starter for her anyway. For obvious reasons.

The republicans are the problem but until 2020 we're stuck with them

In Germany, it's €100-200 per semester, depending on the university. Prestigious private-owned universities are way more expensive, with tuitions in the four-digit-range.
