"What are you kids so upset about? We're just starting a trial program with tuition at 4x the current rate. First it'll run alongside the current program, but then we all know if we can charge four times as much for the same shit we give you now we will. The state cut our funding. What's your problem with making tuition four times as expensive. We've been explaining this to you for four hours and you're not understanding us...."
What's to fucking understand? 4x tuition cost for an education in a system that gets you no job and tons of debt. Of course I guess you don't "have" to go to school.... Then you still won't have a job and people will yell at you to go to school and get a job.....
So basically we can tax college kids (which is what this amounts to) but of course not the rich.... Taxes on college kids are great and they'll pay it through loans so their taxes will be taxed with interest to investors. It'll take them at least 10 years to pay off if they get a job. It's entirely possible it might take them 20 or 30 years to pay off at an extended payment plan. YAY.......
Really? Really people? This is ok? What he hell? Let's say your landlord just raised your rent to four times what it was before. $800/month. Screw you, now it's $3,200/month.... You wouldn't be the least bit upset? O you could move somewhere else or just not live there? Yeah, except you've been there for years and it's your home and you're sorta invested in the area etc.... Just wow. I know it's not a perfect analogy, but it's about the best you're gonna get.
