There isn't? Schooling here is cheap as hell if you want it to be. Anyone with a pulse can afford a 4 year degree, debt free.

Every country running the nordic model disagrees with you.

I'd like to see your evidence for "cheap as hell" plz.

I don't see how. Every scientist on the planet acknowledges climate change.

But if you were talking about Reaganomics proven to be false, you're right. I don't know anywhere near enough about it to prove it was a load of crap. But I do know enough to search google scholar for educated reviews on the subject that back me up.

Mine was a joke about 'climate change' vs. 'global warming.'

so, this is your tactic?

Emmk... let's play with this broken question:

I'm proud of:
*The time I've dedicated to self-directed learning and what that has revealed to me about the world
*the time I spent teaching and creating free classroom spots for kids without appropriate funds
*the housing I was able to provide for my little sisters while they were going to college
*I'll stop here

Careful there. We're on the verge of someone bringing up the shock-journalism created and fueled widening wealth and income gap myth. Americans are getting poorer donchaknow?

Class-warfare is just a fear-mongering term. Any movements done to try and address income inequality are immediately considered "class warfare". Baffling.

Fair enough, lets just get to the heart of its definition. Youre taxing one group of people more than another in order to even out the playing field. I dont disagree with you here, i suppose to what degree is where it gets complicated. Anybody know how much taxation difference is optimal for society? Seems like a slippery slope.

My tactic is we disagree on something that I think is very basic, so I'm taking you to the atomic level so you and I both can get on the same page together.

So, again, what are you personally most proud of?

There is no pre-established atomic model. You're trying to force YOUR atomic model.

Can you read what I just wrote? There's the pride stuff for you. I'm waiting for you to attach the horsey to the cart.

As can be seen by the $3.09 TRILLION DOLLARS tax dodgers have cost our country at it's current rate over the last 10 years. Yes. We're fully aware. And while the rich keep finding places to put their money, the poor build countries like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. All of which have higher points than the US on the Legatum Prosperity index. All of which have more personal freedoms than the US. All of which are continually more prosperous as a nation since implementing the nordic model. All of which have the same, or stronger economies than the US.

And don't think the rich receive nothing in our current model. See, the rich and middle class in this country benefit the most from social welfare. Where entitlement spending goes, 68% goes to the the upper and middle class. Only 32% goes to the bottom 20%. Overall, 96% of Americans benefit from some kind of social program.

You wrote all that to basically say you agree with what I said.

And rules can be made to curtail the offshoring of benefits, to make sure the benefits stay regional-- don't like it? Tough.

Don't be silly. Offshoring is very real while the curtailing is a joke.

dalamon said:
Man. Rich ppl really ****ing suck sometimes.

While middle class suck rarely and poor never?
I'm a pretty good dude and I do not mind sharing what I have .. I just don't want the government to take a lion share and inefficiently spend it as they best see fit. If I'm wrong, tough.

Published Prices for One Year of Full-Time Study

The prices reported in Trends in College Pricingare for one year of full-time study. Many students enroll part time, and prorating these prices does not always give an accurate picture of the published prices students face, much less of the net prices generated by the grant assistance and tax benefits provided by federal and state governments, colleges and universities, and employers and other private sources.

$6k a year is expensive when you make $15k.

Then there's the cost of books, transportation, other materials, etc.

And the cost of housing, food, personal care. Entertainment goes out the window.

Christ kid... fine.

*The time I've dedicated to self-directed learning and what that has revealed to me about the world

Now imagine you open a door and realize there are people other than yourself in the world.

Ok ok... that was just messing with you.

*The time I've dedicated to self-directed learning and what that has revealed to me about the world
-- But really, imagine you realizing you 20% less than you actually*think* you do. -- editted for prosperity
*the time I spent teaching and creating free classroom spots for kids without appropriate funds
-- Realizing that 20% of those kids became crack addicts anyway
*the housing I was able to provide for my little sisters while they were going to college
-- Now imagine that housing, but with more bitching, abuse, and frustration.

So all those things that you're proud of, you're now slightly less proud of.

Get it?
 
Edit: NM. I don't feel like getting insulted over a meaningless internet debate. I guess I'll go do some work.

^this ish blows.

1. I'm questioning the value of what I know ALL THE TIME. But that process submits very poorly to your cute quantitative thought experiment. I'm not sitting there thinking, "I know 30% of the world!" and then later thinking, "Oh ****! I know 25% of the world!".

2. We shouldn't teach current and future crack addicts? Are they less than human? What does their drug addiction have to do with the process of learning, exactly?

3. WTF? I'm supposed to imagine their lives and my life as less functional so that you can make a point?

Wow... ok... woah. What's been proven here???
