President Obama wants everybody to go to college. What a snob? -- Rick Santorum
President Obama wants everybody to go to college. He wants everybody to be like him. -- Rick Santorum
First, I'd like to address the "snob" comment. Anyone who thinks the president is a snob needs to know this: That isn't a snob-type of comment. And here's why:
A snob doesn't care if anybody else gets educated. A snob's too arrogant and possibly narcisstic to care about anyone else's American Dream. A snob looks down on people because they aren't status quo of the rich and/or famous. A nobody has no right to education -- snob thinking.
In fact, to feel good about one's self, some people need to feel superior to others. It's a good thing that everybody is equal in God's eyes.
Here's what I know for fact. The president knows that to partake in the American Dream college or technical training allows everyone a viable chance.Those who don't think everyone needs an education, remember that those tax deductions rise with income unless you're millionaires who get large tax cuts.
A snobbish attitude is one's own business -- though wrongheaded -- unless they're president or vying to become one because that would tell people you're for the status quo. There's no need for higher education for all, and that shouldn't change, they'd think.
Yep! The snob's got his. Why worry about others less worthy? they'd think.
Everybody doesn't want to attend college. Many never want to complete high school. Santorum should check the high school dropout rates of all groups, and he'd know everybody couldn't go to college. Period.
I'm so sorry that higher education isn't a barometer for success in everyone's mind. Unless we get tens and thousands of manufacturing jobs back, the uneducated are not likely to get those good jobs that brought middle class status to their parents' generation.That's why I'm not laughing. Tough times and illiteracy are no joke.
