Recently our government has tried to persuade people into thinking that everyone should be able to maintain good health without going broke, but is this true?? What good does it do society to keep complete idiots healthy? If these people that now can live healthy lives are not benefiting society then why are we keeping them around? Why support the uneducated?
If that boggles your mind as well, then I believe you will like where I am heading with this. If an unhealthy yet educated man can benefit society greatly, and an uneducated healthy man just is a cost to society, then why is our government not paying everyone's tuition?? Or better yet paying teachers to do their jobs and making education free?
Thomas Jefferson was a huge advocate for educating the people, and claimed that it be necessary to remain a free and just country.
"It is highly interesting to our country, and it is the duty of its functionaries, to provide that every citizen in it should receive an education proportioned to the condition and pursuits of his life." --Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1814. ME 19:213
So why must I pay for my college??
