<h3>Why is the price of higher education rising while taxes for the rich are falling?</h3>
Thomas Jefferson probably said it the best when he said the universal right to education is the only thing that prevents farmers, maids, and perhaps even slaves from being enslaved by those who refuse to relinquish their power over the common man. And indeed, this has been the case for centuries. The adage "the pen is mightier than the sword" has been the difference been life and death for most people throughout Asia and throughout the Americas. Nonetheless, people still remain skeptical as to what the purpose of higher education is given the economic crisis that we have had to face together since the late 2008. When Wall Street came crumbling down with the greed of corporate fat cats, Americans soon realized that the importance of self-improvement and civic participation was near and has never been more important than ever before.
Thus, I raise this question. What happened to the flame that was sparked when those in the 1% refused to give up their right to their taxes, to their riches, and to their welfare? Yes, to say that redistribution is good is tantamount to saying these United States of America should be a communist state. However, that is not at all what I am proposing. There is a thing called black and white and the GREY. We should not be so quick to judge one's treatise as being "too liberal" or "too conservative." There is, and will always be, a middle ground, from which people can shake hands and learn to COMPROMISE.
Higher education is the best of everything this fine nation has to offer. People throughout the world, from countries like China, East Timor, and Moldova, flock to these United States to obtain a degree. THIS is the true spirit of our nation, and we should not fall prey to the mighty 1% for the chance in getting some of that gravy that is known as "Trickle-down economics." Anyone who has attended a fine institution like the University of Michigan, where I graduated cumma sum laude in Economics, would know this is true and has been true since Tom Paine and his "Common Sense" was written so many centuries ago.

<p><i>Answer by Christian Conservative Patriet ☆</i><br/>Anyone who wants an education can get one if he works hard enough. Stop taking out all your frustration on the Job Creators and pull yourself up from your bootstraps. FACT.</p>
