You're heaping praise onto a system that worked so well for you, yet balk at expanding access to that system to more people. Why? It's really hard for me to vie

You're heaping praise onto a system that worked so well for you, yet balk at expanding access to that system to more people. Why? It's really hard for me to view that as anything other than extraordinarily selfish.
If the community college you went to was funded by taxes, and taxation theft, then do you view yourself as guilty of being a thief, complicit in that theft? I sure don't think so. The reason being that it isn't theft.

I'm not "balking at expanding access to that system to more people". I'm suggesting that the way we fund it should be changed. If the community college you went to was funded by taxes, and taxation theft, then do you view yourself as guilty of being a thief, complicit in that theft? It would be reasonable argument, but it's also irrelevant because I can't change the past. And my political ideals weren't as well defined when I was 19, as they are now.
