So, this happened. Considering this was the only way I'd be able to learn Calculus, am I going to have to pay up, or is there some other way?

Explain why you can't learn calculus from a book or something else.

All it means is that people who don't get education will pay as well as the family of ten who all go to college. By your logic, anything the government pays is "free". Why don't we also make them pay for our food, houses and cars, so we'll all have all of our lives paid for?

People like you are the reason america is completely doomed.

You really don't understand why having a better informed and educated public is a good thing. It just doesn't make sense to you.

You honestly believe that the oppinions of an informed citizen are just as valauble as a complete dumbfuck. You think complete dumbfucks make decisons just as good as infomed citizens.....fucking highlarious!

You aren't fucking wise enough to see past anything but the immediate. You aren't moral enough to care about anyone but yourself.

Enough of your edgy drivel. You have clearly no idea what you're talking about. No matter how much money you put into education, your childish fantasies won't work. People are naturally stupid. This is biological fact. You cannot force dumbfucks to become educated.

How do you know this? Of course I do. But there's no reason why the costs should be passed on to someone else; a coal miner's taxes subsidies some twat's liberal arts education.

Familiarize yourself with Friedman, he spent his entire career critiquing socialism. If you had watched the videos I linked he shows, for example:
- 25% of higher education subsidies are received by the upper-income classes, and only 5% by lower-income classes.
- The poor, who start to work earlier than the middle to upper income classes, on account of higher schooling, pay into social security for longer, and by virtue of their average lifespan from being poor, receive benefits for less longer. It's demonstrably a program that transfers well from the bottom to the top.
