    in the old days it was true, corporatism is destroying this country by sending jobs overseas and excessive foreign imports

    but I do agree that many on the right and left were raised badly, that is why we see so many narcissist on both sides today, more so on the right - it used to be that most narcissists were spoiled rich kids

    we have to stop raising kids that they can be anything they want cause they are special, we have to tell them if they work hard in school and life they will have better opportunities in life

    but we do need to offer public affordable colleges for those that do want to work hard and advance their lives, you should not have to be rich to have this opportunity

    You pass the buck when you have "government" pay for the mistakes of others. Governmnt is the people, It's not free money. I never made those mistakes, neither did any of my acquaintances, Oh yes, we have conservative values. We don't need Bernie or his Marxist theology!

    agree with that, but not all children are lucky enough to be born to rich parents like Trump, they deserve a shot at sucess too

    right now, America needs a Bernie for President to get things back to balance, the people have lost all power and the corporations and rich have taken over our government

    we need a President by the people and for the people

    not a president that thinks corporations are the people and only supports corporate interests

    Paid for by Wall St., who currently profiting off the problem.

    I don’t consider corporatism and crony capitalism to be conservative values, but these things do change over time.

    So, the whole thing was basically open source. Russians, Ukrainians, 4chaners, etc. all had access to the reporting number. Easily found by google search. And we are supposed to believe results are correct? What a bunch of incompetents.

    Personally I think it’s not cool to screw with the Dem caucus. I wouldn’t do it. But to openly invite such interference by your incompetence at every level kind of takes your right to complain away.

    I've never seen a rundown on the cost of college yet. At the local level we are getting crushed by school taxes, of course they always want more money, but when you see where it's going I believe around 70% of it is going toward overhead such as teacher pensions. At the Ivy league level, are those professors really worth $400k? In order to make them affordable we need to see a breakdown on expenses and see where improvements can be made. Are there regulations that stifle competition so new colleges can't get off the ground?

    I and several other small business owners have done very well. We are very happy with our lot in life and hold no grudges against corporations or the rich. Guess if your a "victim" you can always cry foul....but that's not what we're made of. If you want a bunch of "Mao suited" victims to run our country, what you will get is an elite class of leeches and everyone else will be consigned to what the elite will allow them to have. You will kill incentive.

    But you do seem to like arrogant professors that make $400,000 /year that sway children to pay their absorbent salaries while they teach "hate America" and do not give them the tools to earn a living.

    One wise man said that a society has to support equally its philosophers and it plumbers, otherwise neither its theories nor its pipes will hold water.
    The exponential burst in college costs correlates perfectly with the easiness of student loans backed by the government. When demand exceeds the supply the cost goes up. Imagine what will happen when the government pays everyone's cost of college -- unconstrained demand. For starters college will have to expand their infrastructure probably five-fold.

    There you go again pointing fingers and accusing people of thought crimes.

    The median salary for professors is $72k, and while some private college professors make high salaries, (mostly doctors, physicists, and businessmen) I wouldn’t have thought you’d be against people making a good living.

    A good living? I would say capitalists who risk their money deserve a good living. Not so sure about entrenched bureaucrats thae can hardly be fired. Those that can do, those that can't teach.
