“Higher education experts and states around the nation will have their eyes on Tennessee as the Volunteer State embarks on an ambitious plan to provide free community college to all high school graduates.”
It is good that we live in a world where college is free. Obviously the professors have all agreed to work without pay, and the energy company has volunteered to heat and cool the buildings gratis, and someone has agreed to give the college employees all the food they need to survive.
Not true, of course. This notion that anything can be provided without some kind of cost is the foolishness upon which so much of contemporary life is based. Of course Tennessee is not providing free community college; what the writer means to say is that someone else is paying the cost, no doubt involuntarily.
The thugs in good suits who run Tennessee have decided to confiscate the costs of running a community college from their usual victims, in order to appear beneficent to the young people who will be deluded into believing their education is free.
This is how the “two-party” system works: One branch of the party steals from the rest of us in order to provide benefits like “free” education and welfare, and the other branch steals from us in order to maintain order and security through powerful police and military forces. The resulting police state monitors our everyday behavior to make sure we are living the life they have chosen for us.
This is their definition of freedom: Free education provided on the backs of wage earners everywhere. Their freedom is slavery, and the clocks are striking thirteen.
