The following is not the way I see the world. But it is how others see it.
Let's take the case of free college education. We are yelling that it is socialism? Ok I go along with that. Let's keep the country the way it has always been and allow people who can afford to get an education get one. The others can remain uneducated. In fact the country could save a TON of money if we stopped paying for education after middle school. Let's just provide free education through the 8th grade and then let those who can afford it go on to private high schools. We can even make the case that private high schools will do a better job of teaching our children and it will be safer because those poor folks won't be hampering our kids' education.
Would our country be better off if we did this?
