    This is a "progressive" argument for further entrenching social inequality in the education system so that the well-to-do have access to jobs that require education and the poor don't.https://twitter.com/stephanie_murr/status/1113547391888764928 …

    BUTTIGIEG on free college: Americans who have a college degree earn more than Americans who don't. As a progressive, I have a hard time getting my head around the idea a majority who earn less because they didn't go to college subsidize a minority who earn more because they did

        I don’t think that is what he said. It’s sounds the opposite to me.

        I think he's saying with free college you'll still have people who do not decide to go and therefore earn less than those that do while also subsidizing those that do. That was basically HRC's arg and it's a terrible one.

        They wouldn’t be. The people proposing free college wouldn’t pay for it by taxing the poor. It would come mostly from higher rates on the wealthy
