Join the group. I paid my own way through low paying jobs and living at home... but I think you completely missed my point. I said no one should have to parade themselves in a beauty contest to go to college.
Social (Fed/state/other) funds should pay for college. And those who receive those funds should also pay an additional amount in taxes. Society benefits from a well educated work force. Whereas no social funding perpetuates a class system, which destabilizes many aspects of society including government, criminality and corruption. (Bernie Sanders is correct on this)

Sarcasm aside, we all signed and participated this far to finish. Hopefully he'll pick it up again... after he gets up off the Vegas motel floor.
