    As I stated, only about a third complete a college degree. Sure more get some partial one like an associates or technical degree but those are more like continuing education or trade school than a full degree.

    Actually, you claimed that two-thirds of Americans don't go to college:

    The reality is that over half of young Americans go to college of some form.

    Public schools, funded by everybody, were established because it was determined that Americans shouldn't be illiterate.

    It has since become obvious that K-12 isn't enough to prepare Americans for modern life,

    and that consequently,

    everybody must pay for a little more to keep us from being a completely dumbass country,

    as if we were comprised of fifty red states.

    Fine, half. Doesn't change what I stated otherwise.

    There are a lot of people in NYC who do not have drivers licenses. Why are they paying taxes to support roads?

    Because at the federal level, most of the highway funding goes towards ones intended for national defense. The state can do differently, but in almost every state, a gasoline tax pays for roads. If you don't drive, you don't pay for roads...

    Aside from that, those people still benefit from roads. They may take taxis and buses, or use other road bound transportation, so they are still using the roads.

    I wonder if anyone with a college education ever becomes an officer, or works for a defense company. I wonder if people without college educations ever go to a doctor with a college education, or buy products designed by people with college educations.

    Also, I wonder who pays the most taxes...

    Well, when they took the photo for your ID badge at work they learned to develop cameras that could handle HUGE loads of stupid.

    What would you know about college campuses? Do you work as a janitor at one?

    See? You continue to demonstrate your hatred for her.

    She doesn't hate Jews. You only think so because Fox News told you so.
