Can you clarify the last part of your comment..???

I remember Jessica Mitford writing that the cost of one year's incarceration in federal prison was roughly the same as one year's tuition at Harvard -- which, in her words, "raised the intriguing possibility of an exchange program between the two institutions."

The two may even be connected, Marianne! Not sending 'em to college means sending 'em into poverty hence more likely than well off educated persons to commit crimes n end up in prison 😆

You just answered yourself.

What does it say about progressives that they are willing to tax the working dirt poor so doctors and lawyers who will make thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times more than them in the course of their life time?

You know the answer: it’s a society based on fear and shame. So: how to drop the fear and pick up human dignity? More fear mongering, more shaming…something else? ❤️✋🏾❤️✋🏻❤️✋🏿❤️✋❤️✋🏽❤️ 🇺🇸🌎

That’s the American way. Take advantage of the poor and keep them poor

no one WANTS to see people in prison or in debt. criminals wind up in prison because they knew the law and chose to break it. students wind up with debt because they knew the terms of their loan agreement and chose to sign it. have no ambivalence about either position at all.

That free/cheap labor #13thAmendment slavery is more important than education of course. #CriticalRaceTheory explains that this has been the goal since this country was stolen.
