First of all, that's shit. If their grades slip then that shows up on their transcripts. I like how you imply that any common idiot who just happens to have rich parents can inherently and easily run a multimillion dollar company perfectly, as if it takes no knowledge or talent at all. "Oh he had rich friends, so he's running Starbucks now". It's such shit, it's not an easy thing to do. It takes skill, it takes talent, it takes dedication and smarts to run a big business or whatever. You think these jobs that pay millions of bucks a year are easy? Such shit.
Community colleges are pretty cheap, I know, I am currently going to one. And the degrees you get aren't about getting a decent job right away, they're used to often get a scholarship to a better college afterwards, which WILL give you a degree that will net you a good job.
That sucks for your friend, but I have trouble thinking that when working two jobs, he couldn't at least take a class or two at a community college every semester. Unless he has ridiculous bills or something, or children to feed.
That's because it's theoretically impossible for most rich people to have gotten their millions or billions from mom and dad.
Most country's raise taxes over inherited money, not to mention that statistically speaking most family's have 2.something children.
So if your father would have 20 million and he would die, you would be left with 15 million split in 2... 7,5 million dollars. Hardly the amount that the owner of a multi billion dollar corporation would have.
Not to mention that people that lead corporations like that, aren't stupid. So they did follow an education and worked for it.
Honestly, loans are the only things likely to show up. Community college is cheap in comparison to university but it stills hurts the pockets especially if you have to work to pay it

Going by your logic we should get a rich person and let him get beat up instead of the other guy, because he has a lot of money and had a good life anyway. The other guy his life probably sucked so he deserves to keep it
No shit, some people here tend to think that the upper echelon CEO's were just given their powerful and lucrative careers on a whim. If you're the CEO of Toyota, it most likely because you both know your shit and you worked your Ivy League ass off.
By OUR logic you shouldn't be FORCED to help that person in trouble if you don't want to. If you want to, go for it. If not, then that's how the world works. People's own wellbeing is always first and foremost.
In a capitalistic economy everything is worth what you pay for it. Question and demand, it's how the world works.
We have far more nurses then we have great athletes and entertainers, yet we have more people asking for great athletes and entertainers.
Result, price for athletes and entertainers goes up price for nurses goes down.
It's that easy. Now if we would have more athletes and entertainers then nurses, nurses would be worth a lot more. But let's be honest here, a lot of people can become a nurse not a lot can become a successful athlete or entertainer.
You stop lying too, I didn't say contributing to society, I said offering goods and services that people want/need. Meaning that they'll pay good money for it.
Don't mix a messed up system of reward with responsibility to pay more than your share, which the rich do comparatively speaking. Yes, a nurse is more valuable to society then say Brad Pitt, it isn't his fault though that people are willing to pay him $20mil a movie because his looks brings in 10 times that amount in profits.
No it's not shit, if a rich kid is failing, their parents go , let him pass and we will get you as new football field or library. It happens.
And if he signs up for student aid, then when he gets done, not only does he have to find a job, but also a crippling debt to work off.
It is undeniable that richer kids have extreme advantages and have to work far far less then those from middle class or poorer class backgrounds.
I'm honestly shocked no one on your side of this has suggested euthinizing the poor and disabled for the benefit of the rich yet. It would seem to go along with your beliefs.
LOL... Besides your "I HATE BUSH" rabble-rabble (yet it had some truth), can you give a few more solid examples? Also, politics are far different than corporations, if you fail at doing your job, the board of investors generally fires you due to loss of profits.
