The US is the richest, yet most giving/charitable country in the world. Those clamoring for rich people to give up their wealth are just envious of the process it took them to obtain it. You want money, go to the library and educate yourself for free. If people actually found out you can learn as much in a public library as going to college, colleges wouldn't be near as plentiful as they are. Even trade schools would be far and few between.
The whole deal is a sham and a scam, in reality after all the dust settles, spreading wealth and all that other crappola they talk about ends up putting an unbearable burden on the productive members of society and consolidates wealth and power among society's elite, while trapping some into never ending poverty.
So, your in the company that people are too stupid to realize that you can get a free education at the library??
"You go to college to get laid, for an education you go to a library."
Frank Zappa
Zappa had a PHD btw.
He certainly straightened Al Gore out before the US senate, so Al quit trying to regulate rock and roll lyrics and went to regulating CO2.
Zappa's testimony.
From page two:
The PMRC proposal is an ill-conceived piece of nonsense which fails to deliver any real benefits to children, infringes the civil liberties of people who are not children, and promises to keep the courts busy for years, dealing with the interpretational and enforcemental problems inherent in the proposal's design.
It is my understanding that, in law, First Amendment issues are decided with a preference for the least restrictive alternative. In this context, the PMRC's demands are the equivalent of treating dandruff by decapitation.
He's just getting warmed up there, he had people rolling in the aisles before it was over, there are several you-tube versions on the net, you can hear lots of laughter in the background.
No one has forced Mrs. Baker or Mrs. Gore to bring Prince or Sheena Easton into their homes. Thanks to the Constitution, they are free to buy other forms of music for their children. Apparently, they insist on purchasing the works of contemporary recording artists in order to support a personal illusion of aerobic sophistication.
Ladies, please be advised: The $8.98 purchase price does not entitle you to a kiss on the foot from the composer or performer in exchange for a spin on the family Victrola. Taken as a whole, the complete list of PMRC demands reads like an instruction manual for some sinister kind of "toilet training program" to house-break all composers and performers because of the lyrics of a few. Ladies, how dare you?
Read the whole thing, its a riot.
Tipper Gore was so publicly embarrassed that she kept her bisquit hole shut for years.
still if you pick up a degree in those 4yrs of learning nothing you're way ahead of the guy who learned his trade at the public library.
Bill Gates??
Another thing is that in many cases for the average person graduating high school, the one who learns a trade and begins to earn immediately often is ahead financially at age forty of one who earns a degree then spends years paying off student loans and some cases earns less over his life time than a skilled craftsman, especially if that craftsman goes into business for himself.
One thing that has been quite successful to many people is partnerships between two people, one who has the practical knowledge and one who has used higher education to learn engineering and business management knowledge for instance.
I could give lots of examples about which I have personal knowledge.
like it or not that piece of paper still opens more doors than a library card
If the lamb were slain before the foundation of the world, what does the sheepskin on your wall say??
Don't get me wrong, I am not anti-higher education and what you say is generally true but that is not always the case by far. One of the main reasons America is formost in the world in many fields is the benefit they get from higher education.
The downsides are that academia for the most part clings to socialism as it's model for governance and all the social engineering that goes on, including promoting all the dogmas of political correctness.
More than anything, it says you are not a complete idiot,
Pardon me while I
lol:
A college degree is no guarantee of freedom from idiocy, it does indicate a high degree of the ability to follow instructions, which is a great quality desired in those looking for employees.
