Anyway, there's little that Sanders can do alone as President, but he's a progressive force, and I hope that Bernie's campain/presidency will help build a more unified labour/progressive movement in the US, fighting to take his social democratic reforms a step further.

I was waiting for someone to say Germany. Do you know they raised taxes more then 20 percent to foot the bill for this higher education? Its simply not feasible in the states to do so. Bernie Sanders has to take into account that states like the one I live in and New York are already taxed at a rate that makes it less then feasible to live on. There are already several states in Germany that are trying to abolish this practice altogether and/or lower their tax rate because it is increasingly harder to afford to live with just the basic needs that one needs to afford their family.

Feel the Bern man.
The only way this would be feasible is if the 1 percent did indeed foot the bill for college education. Bill Gates alone could send every kid in the us to school at no charge but its not gonna happen. There is no way a republican congress would allow that to happen and they shouldn't. People should have to pay for their education just like everyone in my family had to do. Thats the American way.

7 countries where college is free - Salon.com
Im not gonna front, idk much about politics Fred. Maybe this kinda system wouldn't work in every state but it's not an impossible feat. ive only seen one democratic debate but in it Bernie went on and on about taxing more the upper 1 percent so im guessing the burden of paying a college education tax wouldn't fall solely on lower and middle class citizens.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but on first glance this does stink a little of Florida!

It's not footing the bill, it's paying what you owe like everyone else who's not in a position to cheat the system. |
