He's my favorite poaster on here for this reason

it's an art. still, i'll defend my post. basically, you're thinking too small.

it's not just about "equal access to education" in some kind of "all people deserve opportunities waah waah" hippie sense. the problem is if you send all the poor people to vocational schools and all the rich people to universities, the poor people all end up somewhat educated, with stable enough incomes to keep them out of jail, and they'll all be in unions. meanwhile, rich people will be able to graduate from nova and make $160k/yr in a cushy, air-conditioned office.

you think this is gonna last? you're a generation away from a working class revolt, maximum.

Then outlaw unions, bam fixed.

Why are all the rich people going to go to law school and all the poor people to vocational school? Did I miss the part where we are cutting down access to regular four year universities?

no one gets jobs from regular four year universities, remember? all degrees are worthless except engineering, and rich people don't like to work too hard.

I really hope the bolded is trolling.

you're right, i guess it should have been "rich people don't like to work at all"

Personally I think we're pretty close to this now

Also "equal access to education" somehow was warped into "everyone who wants to go to school can go to school". America is great at having great ideas and then executing them in a hilariously terrible fashion.

Well this reformed system makes law school much more attractive to all potential students not just the lazy, rich lib arts students. If you go in guaranteed a job with a guarantee of big law from some schools, then I'd imagine the supply of law students would go up.

Maybe the offspring of generational wealth, but the original people who earned the money worked their asses off.

the only thing keeping us on top is drugs. the secret government lab that invented crack was, in hindsight, BRILLIANT.

alright, you win, andrew carnegie was a hard worker.

DAT OSCAR BLANDON

true story, bro.

What hindsight?

Whatever dude. The modern day first-generation "rich" do work hard, regardless of what you might like to think. I'm sorry if I don't feel sympathy for people who work 40 hours a week and then complain that they don't have as much money as the I-bankers who put in 70+ hours a week.

it was considered risky at the time because it would concentrate urban wealth in a few major dealers who would be well positioned to start a rebellion. fortunately they just became rappers.

yes, but we're talking about rich kids who are going to college, not rich people with long, successful careers.

This. Is. Awesome.

The system is a bit rigged against the middle class.

You don't say?

FTFY

the middle class is far too big as it is. Do we really need more people driving buicks?
