We need to decide as a society what things all humans deserve regardless of their worth, social status, and economic status. We already pay taxes to ensure all humans can have a public education (K through 12). Bernie is proposing we extend that to an undergraduate degree. I think the reasoning is that social mobility is pretty stifled without a college degree these days. We invest in children with the assumption that they will contribute eventually, but don't deny them an education if their parents don't contribute etc.
