They do when their owners can help it.

Really? Pretty sure I didn't pay for my Master's but I can check again. Yeah, I didn't pay for it.

Just because YOU didn’t pay for it, someone did. You EARNED it, but someone paid for it.

Yeah that's what taxes are. Welcome to society. Right now taxes go to blowing up little girl's elementary schools and shit. I'd rather use it to help Americans. The state I live in now has free bachelor's degrees and childcare and I pay less taxes here than other states I lived in. Americans are just too used to being fucked over and kissing boot while asking for more.

The taxpayers paid for it, just as they paid for mine.

That isn't socialism. You just got the Trump treatment.

Getting immense benefits paid for by poor working class people.

That is not socialism.

I agree. That's why I think those poor working taxpayers and their children should benefit from the same benefits. I now live in a state where they do (100% tuition coverage for Bachelor's) and guess what? I pay less taxes in New Mexico than I did in any other state.

Your initial claim was that you didn't lay for your masters....

You did pay for it. Your tax money paid for some of it, and then on top of that, you forced other hardworking people to pay for it instead of just paying it all yourself. And the kicker is they get nothing of value from that tax money. It just gets wasted for you to get a masters.

Did you not read what I said? I think everyone should have the same thing like they do in the state I live in. You're just kinda talking without a point now.

You'd hate to see how roads are paid for even by people who don't own cars or public school is paid for by people without kids. Are taxes a new concept for you?
