I went to public school as I had no say in the matter, and you all know my thoughts on the government paying for me to go to college. When I go it will be on my dime, and on my terms.
See? After everyting I tried to teach you,
you still don't get how every capitalistic country works. As a citizen you pay many taxes. You pay tax because you're citizen, you pay tax because you work (if you work) and so on.
Your money goes to government and with it government finances herself and everything else in USA. Yeah, you paid for those weapons your soldiers used in Iraq. And you paid for the road in front of your house.
Your government couldn't exist without your money.
When government pays for your education, she's just giving you back only part of the money YOU ALREADY GAVE HER.
