Every Broke College Student Needs to Hear This News ...

If you're a college student in America, you're probably used to being broke. It's not because you're lazy. It's because it costs a ridiculous amount of money to attend a university.
That's why there was recently a campus democracy rally in Ohio. According to Reuters, "The demonstrations, dubbed the Million Student March, were planned just two days after thousands of fast-food workers took to the streets in a nationwide day of action pushing for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and union rights for the industry."
"Organizers are demanding tuition-free public colleges, cancellation of all student debt and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for campus workers."

Do you think that the price of college should be lowered?

That's sort of along the lines of what happens here

Germany is not socialist and it is practically for free, even UK is cheaper

@Emily Weishaupt If you know anything about politics and economy, you know they plan to tax people who make billions (who are taxed almost nothing) and will not only allow more people to go to college, but greatly stimulate the economy.

Bernie Sanders for president of you agree! He has a tax plan that will pay for it:)

The US federal gov't is currently trying trying to help all US public community colleges become tuition-free. This would allow students to graduate either w/ an associate degree, get major job training, or have 2 years of basic requirements complete enroute to a 4-yr degree. (California did this for years until a disastrous tax change ruined it, in part.) College costs, IMO, have become a disgrace & will ultimately harm the American future in many ways.

America has always been capitalist with socialist tendencies just think about all the government funded groups I don't think it would hurt to cut back in certain areas to help college kids

Yes and I believe the minimum wage should be $15

@k-dizzle That's WAY easier said than done. You need an education to get a career unless you have some kind of connection to larger businesses. It's not easy, every college in America is expensive even if it's community. Don't be so condescending when people can't afford things, not everyone is so damn fortunate.

@Emily Weishaupt Actually, it most likely would. But even if it wouldn't, it would still greatly make it more affordable and open up the opportunity to many more. Which would be nice, I'd assume you'd agree.
