Dear Friends,
It seems galling to me that the welfare checks to US universities might be late this month. I understand Harvard gets nine billion a year from ditch diggers, dish washers and janitors. Columbia University, Obama’s alma mater, gets almost half a billion. Johns Hopkins receives over 2 billion from taxpayers as well. It turns out, when you look into it, our colleges and universities are publicly funded, for private use. Very progressive, if you think about it. Taking money from laborers to subsidize the indoctrination of the offspring of the rich… the next generation of elites. People who will work diligently to lower the standard of living of those forced to pay for their college. A more unjust system couldn’t be imagined, yet it tracks perfectly with Thrasymachus’ idea of justice, and the globalists as well.
It appears our corporations, colleges and universities are on welfare. As are the Soros NGOs working to destroy Western civilization. Clearly welfare isn’t only for the poor. It’s for the richest people on the planet as well. No wonder they begrudge us our social security… it cuts into their welfare check. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see George Soros in the checkout line at Walmart, using food stamps. The billionaires of this world have so little shame. Normal people who have the means to feed themselves don’t take the dole. We pull, we don’t ride in the cart. The corporations, universities and elites however, not only ride in the cart, they drag their feet for the fun of it. Because they have no shame whatsoever. Like you and I would if we took welfare when we don’t need it.
The first thing that should be cut is welfare to the rich, universities and colleges. Why should they be on the public’s dime? Oh, the cons would argue basic science must be funded by government. Because, according to them, there’s no profit in doing basic science for companies. Which is spurious as spurious can be. What does Space X, fusion start ups and others do then? Plus, what does government actually buy with those billions of dollars taken from you and I? Promoting politically favored notions. They seek to rationalize their absurdities with “science.” Crazy town ideas like Anthropogenic climate change, the whole trans perversion, and every other insane idea that reverberates in their ivory tower. They exploit their ability to take money from us at gun point, to pay to prove their crazy talk to us.
Meanwhile the quality of a university education has fallen off a cliff. The more money they take from the government the worse job they do at preparing their students for a career. Graduates are certainly adept at protesting, mindlessly hating the patriarchy and following a political order… but not at taking orders from a manager, showing up to work on time or working diligently toward a goal. The universities have a different priority. They seek to make angry communist soldiers… not upwardly mobile young people. That was such a 1980’s mindset. That young people should be upwardly mobile. Today the modern notion is that young people should die of heart attacks, in a war or by suicide, by the time they’re thirty. If we are to accept action as indication of intent.
It’s astounding how much a year of public “education” costs. Nearly twenty thousand dollars a year! At that rate, a few families could get together and pay a teacher top dollar to tutor their kids. Getting a better education at a lower price point. Even as the cost of a year of college is bone crushing. Because the total cost isn’t just tuition; it’s tuition plus the government subsidy. If Harvard graduates eleven thousand kids a year, and gets nine billion in grants, that amounts to eight hundred grand per kid… plus tuition. Meanwhile, graduates of high schools, colleges and universities emerge unable to function in society. Clearly, it’s time to stop the madness. Cut off welfare to the rich. They don’t need it, and we can’t afford it. Let the corporations, colleges and billionaires wash their own dishes.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
