...For our politicians the questions revolve around similar values. Do your policies reward and encourage investment in education for the long term or consumption in the moment?
Drivers pay gas taxes that go directly to roads. Where is the tax that the users of the education system pay to subsidize student loans? If anything, the student loan crowd is the one getting the free ride. Why does the WSJ print this claptrap?
Its just another leftwing rag, with a corporate twist.
The sincerest protesters that Soros money can buy!
Drivers pay gas taxes that go directly to roads.
Unfortunately, in Illinois the state government puts the gas tax into the general fund. With less money for roads the state built tollways. Nice fix, huh?
Heads full of Marxist mush put there by a Marxist infested NEA.
“...they are mainly educated...”
That, sir, is questionable.
Given what I’ve heard from them when they’re foolish enough to talk, I find it sufficient for criminal prosecution of the “professors” that deigned to take money from those gullable children.
I feel like that anonymous aide in Star Wars who approaches the Death Star Commander.
“We have analyzed their attack plans, and there is a danger”.
The longer the economy stays down the more people will be open to be swayed by arguments that the 1% have “too much” and that the banks “need to pay us back for bailing them out”.
they are NOT the 99%, nor anything like it. infact, they’re fewer than the 1% they rail against. nobody appointed, elected, asked, or chose them to speak for anybody but themselves.
Umm...we are the 99%.
Naive and foolish obviously aren't in his dictionary.
WSJ is the finest newspaper in the world. I guess they have to give some space to their resident leftest pinko staff writer.
These marxist heathens aren’t 99% of anything...
Couldn’t read the entire article, but from the start, the issue with the protestors is; their anger is misdirected—gov’t mandate initiated and sustained the meltdown. Any fool knows that lending institutions were forced by gov’t mandate and their gangs of lawyers (obuttface was one of them) to make risky loans, mostly just another form of welfare for africans, hispanics and other selected special people. My cousin in the business told me two years ahead of the collapse what was coming and why.

So then, according to this flaming brain addled Liberal, having knowledge on the subject your are talking or demonstrating about or for is trumped by your education, your social status and your sincerity.
Limbaugh was right on when he said all those years ago the Left never thinks, it feels. There isn't an ounce of real common sense and not a shred of ability to employ cognitive thinking. They live in a world where they actually believe if we could all sit down and join hands, sing a chorus or two of Kum Bi Ya, why everything would be wonderful. They are both pathetic and dangerous.
They are using the bailout outrage to draw in naive people to their side.
“Those who focus on the look and feel of the OWS movement ignore the obvious fact that, like the early protesters of the 1960s, they are mainly educated, middle-class and completely sincere.”
Total BS!!!!
Gun them down like they should have done in the 60s!!!!
Are we paying 100,000 for a college education that conveyed the same knowledge that a high school graduate had in the 1950's? Have our teachers unions and politicians made real progress regarding education?
99% of the 99% are not educated. A four year degree even in a moderately serious major is a total joke. 99% of college grads don't read any classics in college. 99% of history teachers use the modern revisionist method and place nothing in perspective. 99% of classes can be passed with virtually no effort. 99% of the time you can be drunk and graduate college.
First of all, they aren't the 99% they claim to be, so why would we listen to a bunch of liars?
