I would be very interested in seeing the actual cost of "free healthcare and "free post secondary education" along with student loan forgiveness.

So how much of your paycheck are you already donating to help people with their healthcare and education?
Or are you one of those people that is only "charitable" when the government forcibly takes your or someone else's money?

K-12 is already free

why shouldn't education be free

especially since most white collar jobs require a 4-year degree?
The idea that valuable, scarce and necessary things should be free is completely backwards.

K-12 isn’t free.
Just because people dont get a bill for it doesn’t mean they don’t pay for it.

I don’t think these two know what free means. They’re not free at all.
The olin tip of that you get to pay for the private school you have to send them to because the “free”
schools aren’t worth a crap.
Why pay twice?

We pay for K-12 via state and/or property taxes
Hail,Hail is evidently one of those who are still in college, doesn’t work, doesn’t pay taxes (yet), doesn’t own property yet still gets to vote and tell others how their money should be spent. We have too many of these in our country thus our issues.

The main flaw in his statement is that K-12 is in fact not free.

I’m confused here as K-12 is certainly not free. Where do they think the money comes from to fund these public school districts?
K-12 school is free in the same sense that most highways are free unlike a toll road that you pay to use.

And both are a scam and ripoff.

Why not life in general? Why have an arbitrary cutoff like college?
Posted on 1/12/20 at 6:09 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Did they include private schools too. State colleges are discounted already.

My county tax says I help pay for schools.

State/local vs federal is actually a pretty important difference.

If you perform at a high level of excellence in K-12 college is absolutely free. Hell my wife made money
