Obama's plans for College Tuition

[creationstory]

This is a great post. I am truly amazed at how people cannot see what has just happened in this country. The rich (who in many instances are no smarter than you or I), are finding loopholes that in many instances were created for them. THEY are getting wealthy and the middle class is paying for it. Look at the distribution of wealth in America, your kidding me, right? Look at how much minorities have been screwed in this country. If you think your a Republican, I hope your making quite a bit of dough because if your not, they've screwed you too. I mean, I sometimes can't believe how people think in this country. I am white but I can see it. The threat is coming from above, not below, but it will be. Keep enough people down and you will see the riots they had in Paris, France right here in this country! You must be using dry humor in reverse on me, right? In NJ, Superintendents of schools (of which we have 616 districts, more than Maryland, Delaware and Virginia combined) make close to or at least $185,000.00 a year w/numerous perks on top of that. We haven't touched on assistants or support personnel. This is not a NJ problem, open up eyes wide, these people are not worth that. Heck, the president barely makes that, at least in salary. I like a good joke, this is Aprils Fools, right? C'mon, there are so many talented people out there that will be out of work a long time, I suppose they don't want to work either. More of a drain on the system. GREED, pure and simple is bringing this country down. Read up on H-1B visas and see what is really happening. There is no doubt there are freeloaders in the system and that needs correction. We need to keep illegal aliens out, we should be taking care of our own 1st. I think, the system needs fixing. No, I know this system is screwed, look at what is happening to the vets.......while this frickin VP has ties with corrupt Halliburton. I'm not a Democrat either because they're becoming useless also. I'm a disgruntled American who thinks the trickle down theory is a bunch of garbage. You can give the elitist their due if you wish, I prefer to think of many of them as Prima donnas. Don't look now, your country is falling apart. Don't blame people for wanting the dream of home ownership, blame the bank execs for authorizing it with rates they new could never repay in the event of a blip. Those are our great minds at work. Do we hold them accountable? They make enough, don't you think they shoulder a huge responsibility for this or do they get a waiver? Back to the original statement, every American should be able to live the dream, and if college or trade school is their desire, $$$ should be made available. Heck, you want money for school, why don't we make it mandatory that every person serve in the armed forces? Give me because it's a free country argument and my reply is, how do you think we became free? Somebody's gotta do it, why not everybody who is physically capable? There is not a CEO out there worth the money they are getting, PERIOD! Without a workforce, there isn't any work. President Obama and his team at least acknowledge something needs to get done in this area. That much is commendable. Man.........this is an educational website, isn't it?

i am all for people who are physically able to join the military as a social responsibility.

i am not for though the fact that people should all be able to live the american dream! why? because if we all had the dream than people would want more. the dream is something that for most is unattainable. many people are simply lazy and don't want to work for it. the nation that we had in 1880 and the nation we have now are very different. the republican party of yesteryear and the the republican party of today are different.

yes luck does play a role in many things, but that is simply life. this is not and should not be a socialist nation where we simply provide for people who don't want to put some effort into it. yes there will always be elites. educational elites, economic elites, political elites, industry elites, etc.


when people start working hard. when the talented start using their skills to apply their talent... then we won't have such issues to worry about. sitting back and complaining won't do much. making a plan and implementing it will.
