I'm all for assistance to those who need it, but I don't believe a millionaire should be taking government money for free college. Free college for everyone is my problem. It's that word, "everyone." Another good reason why I hatw flat tax. It hurts the poor and generally helps the rich. If it hurts the rich, then it hurts the poor that much more.

Bernie Sanders doesn't want a flat tax. He wants it to be flexible depending on your income, which isn't going to hurt the poor. Nor is it going to "hurt" the rich. If you don't want your taxes increased, don't become a millionaire.
Free education should be a right. That includes the millionaires which according to Sander's plan would be the ones funding it, so they are as entitled to it as everyone else.
Stop bringing things up as an argument against Bernie that aren't really relevant... It's annoying tbh. No offense.

Edit: another one of my big issues with free college for everyone is people can take the gov. money but not put it to good use. I think a minimum GPA (a fairly high one at that) should be required for gov. funding to continue for each individual's free education. You see how people abuse gov. money with welfare and other gov. organizations. That's why I don't believe it should apply to everyone. It should be based on need, and implement some pretty high standards to make sure it's put to good use.

And this is why I think free education should be a right. Education used to mean a lot. Without it you couldn't get a decent paying job. Obviously free education would require a highschool diploma. There not just going to let anyone in because it's free, but just because someone has a less than average IQ it should exclude them from an education to make a living wage in a career?
Free education is working fine in places like Norway, but you never hear them talk about it because they don't have asshole politicians that can't stop talking about how big their **** is.
