[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can have an elite background and not be an elitist.

But it is seriously hilarious to call St. Joseph's in South Bend an elite school.[/quote]
Warren isn’t an elitist, but I know Bernie people like to cast her as one. That’s all they’ve got.

Lis Smith is a hack, as a PP basically said. Pete’s plan is just wrong. We don’t means test public schools, public parks, public libraries - we accept that they’re a common good and that rich people pay taxes to support them, as we all do. We need universal pre-K and I’d support free community college and free state college, too, for everyone. (Also free vocational education for those who don’t pursue college.) The ultra rich will pay higher taxes to support them without actually using them, in most cases. Universal pre-K and ore college are also a public good, just as free K-12 education is. And none of it is free: we pay taxes.

The ultra rich don’t usually send their kids to community college or state colleges. So means-testing paperwork won’t affect them. But it will be a barrier to working-class and middle-class families. For the working class, it will be one more hurdle they have to clear. It’s a bad idea.[/quote]

Very well put.[/quote]
