"Free Education"

    The sneaky collectivists are now calling the crazy, high tax scheme to give everybody a free college education not as "free college education" but as "free education". I heard radio and talk show host, Tom Hartman, refer to being for "free education" yesterday. At first, I thought,"What? We already have public education which is 'free' - funded by the tax payers." Then I realized the little weasel was referring to "free college education." He was taking out "college" to mask an unpopular idea. That is called lying by omission, Tom. Shame on you!
Don't you know that most of your listeners are rationally challenged, and you shouldn't be taking such liberties with them? Don't let the human weasels (I love real weasels (especially the wolverine whom I consider the Navy Seal of the animal world) reframe the terms. The collectivists favorite tool as they lack logic, reason, and evidence is to use derision. Use derision back on them. If they say, "free education," you ask back something like "Free college education is what you mean. Why can't you just be honest?" or you pepper it up a little by asking sarcastically, "Why can't you be transparent? You're talking about free college education!"
    You don't want to support "free" college education for a number of reasons. Prima facie, it is a lie. Nothing's free except the free lunches at the restaurants that use to offer them. The problem was you were expected to spend a lot of monty on beer with your free lunch, thus making up for the cost of giving you a free lunch. I will bet that if you didn't buy beer and only ate the free lunch, you would not be welcomed for long. The taxpayer will pay for the "free" college education, and so will be the college students when they graduate in four to ten years. You can be sure they will extend their stay in "free" college as long as possible. Second, if there is "free" college, you will have people all over the world sneaking into America for "free" college just as they are presently sneaking in for "free" medical care in our emergency rooms. Have you noticed how more and more emergency rooms are closing because they can't afford to be giving away "free" medical care? Third, providing the government employees to administer giving away "free" college education will be very expensive because federal government employees get salaries and benefits (more money) that are far higher than what most taxpayers get. You get these government employees in, and they will lobby and donate for more programs, meaning more taxes. For example, when I lived in Virginia it was a conservative state. But with the explosion of federal workers working in D.C. but living and voting in Virginia, these federal government employees have changed Virginia's conservatism in the direction of liberalism (high taxes, and increased laws and regulations on the backs of every individual and every business.)
    "Free" college education is an immature idea shared by children and adults who want something for nothing. Like the free lunches at the restaurants, it doesn't happen for long. There's always a price. Walk away from "free college education and speak out against it. Don't be a slob who gets drunk on lies.
