The rich don’t pay their “fair share” bla bla bla

Same noise,, different direction!

Fair point, although the US has been moving exclusively in one direction since the 70s, with the result that 90% of the population has handed the reward for productivity increases to the other 10%.

30 years ago most people with any kind of job could afford to send their kids to the flagship state university, if they qualified academically. Now they’re screwed: it’s the community college or $50K in debt.
