But her solution to where all this free funding is supposed to come from was based entirely on taxation of the one percent.
With the help of my hard-working, middle-class parents - I put myself through college. I worked many years prior to college, saved up...and worked during co-op work semesters to continue funding myself. I didn't turn to someone and say, "I feel entitled...gimme more from the millions you've worked to earn."
Don't get me wrong - I think tuition these days is disproportionately and astronomically high and has crept beyond the reach of many. But imposing absurd "success taxes" on people who have worked their asses off (and/or invested many years in their own education) to reach a high level of income - isn't the solution.
Sorry, but she just struck me as another representative of the entitlement generation.
