<p>Unless you start making over $250,000 after college, you won’t be paying for your friend’s college tuition. I support Obama’s tax hike for those over $250,000, so long as it is a reversal of the Bush socialist policies (giving money to the rich), and a return to the Clinton levels of taxation. Let’s get real: a small increase on taxes on the rich, returning to previous levels, will not tank the economy. Doubling their taxes would, yes. A few small percentage points? No. </p>
<p>The idea that he’s going to help pay for people’s college tuition was a campaign promise that will probably not happen, considering the economy. It won’t happen unless he borrows all that money from China. With the reality of the economy, he is probably not going to be able to help people pay for college. </p>
<p>Personally, I’d rather the government help pay for people’s college tuition than pay for the Iraq war. I would also like to see a reversal of top-down money giveaways (socialism for the rich) and reduced regulation. It doesn’t work. Give the middle class money to spend, which will eventually go to the corporations and increase product demand, and create jobs. </p>
<p>The Republicans haven’t followed their tenet of reduced government spending- sure, they reduce taxes for the wealthy, but they increase spending, build up a huge deficit, and tank our economy. It’s time for the more fiscally conservative party- the Democrats- to take the reigns.</p>
