Maybe he&#8217;s paying capital gains on his investments, but he&#8217;s not paying income taxes since he has no income. So who is he to ask for a tax increase? he has the option to voluntarily send in some money if he feels that would assuage his guilt over not paying enough, but why is he so ready to inflict his guilty feelings on the rest of us?<\/p>\n<p>And yeah, I&#8217;d like to see kids get a decent education, I&#8217;d even be willing to pay more taxes if kids got a decent education. But, for example, at the college from which I graduated, a large number of students were psychology majors, which is an absolutely worthless field of endeavor if the student only intends to get a bachelor&#8217;s degree.<\/p>\n<p>And, oh, I learned more in high school than I learned twenty years later in college because of &#8220;education inflation.&#8221; The public schools are more focused on the social aspect of beiong a teenager than they are in educating students &#8211; because of the proliferation of grants, everyone is going to college, so let&#8217;s spend more time practicing to put condoms on bananas than on the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Employers don&#8217;t have job training programs? What we need is an education system that provides a baseline education so that employers spend their time and money training people for job-specific tasks. The government can&#8217;t do that no matter how much money we give them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2011\/09\/26\/latest-obama-stage-prop-retired-mega-dem-donorformer-google-asks-prez-to-raise-his-taxes\/\">Michelle Malkin<\/a> says that the guy who is so generous with your tax money is a DNC plant.
