Give Us Free Higher Education

Free higher education in not a new idea. In fact, its given to many people in countries around the world. Countries such as Norway, Denmark, Finland, Scotland, France, Italy, Spain and Germany in Europe, to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, to Morocco and Kenya in Africa, to Argentina, Peru and Brazil in South America, all give higher education to its people. However, here in the United States higher education has skyrocketed! It's gotten so bad that higher education is only attainable from a family that's wealthy. The economy has changed so much over the decades that many jobs in the workforce now require a masters or even a Ph.D. Implied by this is the realization that many will be doomed to a lifetime of poverty without higher education. I believe that higher education is not only a means to economic security but a human right as well! I propose that we give free higher education (including graduate education) to everyone who wants it. We can pay for this proposal by levying a financial transaction tax raising the needed money to fund it. Let's do the right thing for our country. Give us free higher education!
