    Abraham Lincoln ? You do realize that as late as 1900, fewer then 12% of high school age kids actually went to high school.
    He lived in a world where over 90% of the population never had formal schooling as high as high school. He certainly can’t become president today with no schooling. I see nothing else that proves any point.

    Good education doing what anywhere ? You’re not going to learn advanced math skills chopping wood. What’s the “ ism” for. Education is now Marxism ? Wow ?

    Not listening i see,, thanks for that.

    Nope. And I'm not going to vote for someone whose never done anything but claims they know whats best for the country, which is almost everyone in DC.

    If you graduated, work on a campaign, then work in a politicians office, then become a politician yourself you have no experience worthwhile to the American people.

    I said you can get a good education at most colleges or universities. But you have to identify when Marxist crap is being spewed by left wing professors and ignore it.

    I did not say "Except for the Blue side" as they are guilty as well - as stated in my post.

    Red Establishment hates Republicanism - Blue Establishment hates Classical Liberalism. Both have been attacking essential liberty at a torrid pace - and undermining the safeguards which protect essential liberty - while maintaining the status quo support for the Big money interests that run this nation.

    I don’t get what you are saying. A degree is portal to four to five years of an educational and practical experience. It’s up to the employer who can do as much investigation as he wants with a release. A degree means nothing without access.

    College graduates are the demographic that is less likely to use public services.

    bologna. Democrats have done much less of that. The proof Republicans give that the Democrats are Wall Street 2 is that Hillary gave a couple of speeches to bankers for $500,000. Doesn't mean a damn thing-garbage propaganda as always. Look at the policies that they want to do. cutting taxes on the rich and giant corporations and services for everyone else is not democratic policy.

    Why go by demographics when you can sort them by actual usage? Why discriminate against those who don't have a formal education and have still proven themselves to be productive and self sufficient?

    I have an aunt who has several advanced degrees and has attended college since the 60s, but has no common sense and uses all kinds of public services and lives off of welfare. Why should her voting opinion be more important than that of her younger brother who didn't graduate high school, but started and ran a business for 50 years?

    Because they are much more prone to be fooled and vote Republican.

    Everyone's vote matters the same. Maybe she's writing a book LOL

    So they are much less likely to agree with you. Got it.

    they are much less likely to have the correct and the true information. Breaking for you... We have a flat tax system a giant giveaway to the rich and the worst inequality and upward mobility in the modern world by far as well as the fewest benefits of citizenship. Most of your beliefs are shared by absolutely no one outside the bubble of GOP ignorance.

    Obama did not address wealth inequality in any significant way - and he certainly did not address the systemic issues that are causing this wealth inequality. Right in the beginning of his first term - he said he wanted to address the rules by which international corporations are able to siphon money out of the US. He must have gotten a talking to - because that is the last we heard of it.

    Obama did not address our "Military Industrial Complex" issue - nor did he address the Oligopoly issues which keep the little guy from competing - and anti competitive practices that keep wages suppressed.

    Obamacare was lipstick on a pig - again maintaining the status quo - not addressing the systemic issues leading to our system of healthcare extortion. 3.5 Trillion in 2017 - roughtly the same as the total federal revenue.

    All this for services that is middle of the road among the first world - and no universal healthcare - and they do it for half the cost. Got to keep the Healthcare and Insurance Oligopolies happy.

    Regime change wars. Try this on - in 2000 - total military spending was 300 Billion. After 8 years of Bush it was 900 Billion/yr - under Obama it surpassed a Trillion.

    Had we maintained the 2000 spend levels - increasing with inflation - we could have diverted 500 Billion/yr x 16 years = 8 Trillion dollars - to infrastructure, technology, education - ramping up our economy to compete in the 3rd millennium

    Instead we threw that money down the toilet - fighting wars with no return on investment - wars based on lies and propaganda - to pad the pockets of the same international financiers that own the Healthcare and Insurance Oligopolies.

    Now take at least another 500 Billion/yr that we could have saved on the Gov't portion of healthcare - and add another 8 Trillion to the total.

    We now pay 500 Billion/yr in interest on our debt ... owed to the same international financiers that own the banks.

    Don't get me started on individual liberty - Obama was a disaster - and Utilitarianism is the new mantra - of both Red and Blue - but Blue were the pioneers. We currently have a massive plague of fallacious Utilitarianism. ... but that is for another day.

    I’ll ask again. How can what we have be a flat tax if a significant percentage pay no tax and many pay a negative tax?
