I suspect our parents often were successful in getting an education years ago because their teachers worked for $3-4,000 a year. And some parents got assistance through the G.I. Bill.
Then, our parents decided that they wanted salaries of $30,000 to $70,000 a year and more. So did the teachers. Then, our parents decided that taxes were too high on those salaries, so they decided that it would be best if the State stopped subsidizing university/college education. So they voted that way.

TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
