when you pay for the college education of tens of thousands of students via taxes, i think it's fair you get one for your own kids thrown in for free

I don't think the children of rich people should be allowed to attend state universities. I think they should be required to do so.

it's not about "paying for trump's kids college" it's about making education a public good that's accessible to everyone, to decouple it from the commodity form your inability to move beyond the framework of individualized consumption decisions reveals your terminal liberalism

GalacticAcid posted:it's not about "paying for trump's kids college" it's about making education a public good that's accessible to everyone, to decouple it from the commodity form actually, its about the fiscal responsibility of saving on the bureaucratic costs of having to determine whether someone is too rich to qualify for free college. universally free education just makes economic sense
