(((Higher Education))) receives our tax dollars, why? The guy selling pencils or the guy fixing your toilet doesn't need tax your dollars, in fact, they have to pay taxes. If a person can't fix toilets fast enough or well enough, then nobody would pay for his services and he would have to find a different profession. If college has value, then people would pay for that value, there is absolutely no reason to include tax dollars in this. If a corporation wants to train new employees in a certain field because they can't get enough of those people, then that corporation should open up a school. If a city wants to train local people to be carpenters or doctors, then the citizens of that city should pay for that, not my federal tax dollars.
