Easley wants MORE Socialism

If you've watched Democrat NC Governor Easley over the years, you know he honestly dislikes freedom. I don't pretend to know why he dislikes it -- I can't tell if he thinks all people are just more stupid than he; or if he just is jealous that some people are working and producing more than he; or if he just honestly hates people overall. But it is clear that he works hard to stop freedom everywhere he can find it.

His "pet" issue over the years has been socialist education. He honestly believes that those who work and produce should be punished and forced to give money to those who do not -- and in the process should give their money to those in the education system. Every chance he has to raise taxes to give it to government, he takes that chance.

Now he wants to take even more money from those who work to provide completely, 100% free educations for people who don't work for them. And no, this isn't to provide "education" to those who aren't already getting it -- he wants to give more money to people who are already getting an education -- but Easley doesn't want these poor people to have to take out loans -- he wants it to be free to the consumer (and not to the taxpayer, obviously).

Even worse is the insane circular reasoning that passes for "logic" to socialists. You see, since the government is charging more for "education" (I keep putting that in quotes because the government system has NOTHING to do with education, just money); students need more money for the "education." Then, since the students need more money, the government will take more from people who work to give to the students. And what will the students do with that money? Give it to government to pay for their "education." So the government is taking from working people to give to non-working people so they can give that money to government.

Sorry, if you're interested in freedom, you're not going to find ANY in North Carolina while Democrats control the legislature (as they have for OVER 100 years).

1 perhaps in some of this stupidity they will figure out a way to help me pay off some of the $50,000 in student loans i have already taken out

2 Sure! Just stop working and ask the government to take some of my money and give it to you. I'm quite sure that if you ask the right person, it will be done. Meanwhile, I'm working harder to pay off my own student loans (that quite exceed your amount, sadly).

3 yeah, im still working on actually finishing the damn degree... i wish someone with some sort of pull in the government would figure out that a person with a BS in computer engineering doesn't need to have music appreciation and religious studies as a part of their curriculum... these Gen-Ed classes are killing me

4 Oh, but the people in government HAVE figured that out -- which is why you are required to take them. You see, if you didn't take them, then you'd pay less to the government for that degree!

5 And besides, if you didn't take music appreciation, then only the music majors would take it -- which might result in the unemployment of some of the government-paid faculty -- which is simply NOT going to happen while Democrats control government!
