[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us how taking more money from people who are wealthy will make you more wealthy.  
How will taxing the wealthy solve the problem of income inequality.  [/quote]

One simple way that would really benefit the middle class would be to use increased tax revenues to dramatically lower tuition at public universities.  [/quote]

Public universities don't need money. They've been busy increasing their tuition at 2x the rate of inflation for the past two decades. Go look on any modern public university campus and you'll see fancy new buildings, stadiums, luxurious "lifestyle" type facilities. Universities have increased tuition not because they needed to, but because they could, because student loans have been easy to get with no limit on the degree sought. What I would support is eliminating Federal backed student loans but make all community colleges free. This way, anyone can go get a college education at their local community college with no tuition cost - I would even go so far as to say throw in all books, materials and lunch. For those that want to attend a non-free public university, they can pay the tuition or obtain private loans - which will typically only be underwritten if the degree sought has a good future earnings potential. So we would have a three tiered system: completely free public education from K through undergrad, subsidized public colleges, and subsidized private colleges.[/quote]
