    @jalexander3 Not everyone is able to pay taxes because not everyone can find a job, taxes should be payed according to the money earned by the person and also jobless people not because they have no money should not recieve health and education. If you deny those rights to the people then you’re discriminating and dooming them. Your last paragraph does not make sense at all. You didn’t said anything just laugh at nothing.

  2. jalexander3 Says:

    @MrAdolfoSandoval how do you propose funding to satisfy such a “right”? what would you call taxation if not theft? do you not see violation of rights that taxation imposes?

    you are saying that children need health care and education and therefore it is a right. this is why i propose that you don’t understand what a right is.

    “good” education? haha, are human rights being redefined to this level of subjectivity now?

  3. MrAdolfoSandoval Says:

    @jalexander3 The right to good education and health is universal and all human beings must have it since they’re born. You’re saying that you have to work to earn those so… should babies and little kids have to work to earn those rights? Besides what, in your opinion, are you stealing and from who? You must really check your arguments before posting it.

  4. jalexander3 Says:

    @MrAdolfoSandoval hahaha do you know what a “right” is? do you understand that to provide these “rights” you have to steal from people?

    I totally support this. I took the SAT at thirteen and passed with high scores. Now I’m twenty-one and a college freshman still trying to succeed. I am attending a WV College because I can’t afford to take out loans. Colleges should also be pro-active in getting students more involved. There needs to be an outreach to help students in college find a solid career. You can’t be expected to know everything when you start college. It shouldn’t be a dog-eat-dog world.

    @KeyboardOwner how is government control a good thing?

  10. KeyboardOwner Says:

    @josh1422 mate… I’m not sure you’re right in the head so I’ll just leave you alone… enjoy yourself.

    Educated….for what jobs?

    @josh1422
    This is a dogm that has no research backing it. And all evidences show the opposite is true.

  13. boonasser Says:

    i wish Obama a good luck in his changes.

  14. josh1422 Says:

    @KeyboardOwner with competition quality goes up. with one thing in control aka the government then the quality goes down. go crawl back into your hole you filthy socialist!

  15. Battelkeks Says:

    Now they should start cutting military budget by 50%, even then they would still be the biggest power in the world (in terms of military power) and put the money actually in good use best would be to start funding science programs (and education) to get rid of the fossil problem.

    Let’s face it, energy will be the biggest issue in about 20-30 years and if we don’t start now we will go to each other throats in the end of it.

  16. KeyboardOwner Says:

    @josh1422 you want education to be…. privatized? You best be trolling.

  17. MrAdolfoSandoval Says:

    @josh1422 I hope you’re joking or being sarcastic

  18. josh1422 Says:

    @MrAdolfoSandoval by paying for it. privatization all the way baby! no government control. only companies in control

  19. MrAdolfoSandoval Says:

    @josh1422 first, why should you earn that right? aren’t all humans born the same or do you feel special? and second: how is that right earned?

  20. truthforamerica Says:

    Best way to reform education is bust up the teacher’s unions. Ha ha, you think the community rabble rouser in chief would allow that to happen? No way!

  21. josh1422 Says:

    @MrAdolfoSandoval it is not a right. you must earn it

    @simonruane thank you….half of us americans(not me) are just a bunch of greedy stuck up snobs who go to church everyday to get brainwashed….its really annoying

    Proper education of the United States’ youth/future to improve or nation & compete globally is the responsibility of EVERY citizen & person aiming toward citizen. Education exists as important as Defense. A moore educated population equals less economic strife, equals less crime, equals a better society!

  24. dawncomestoosoon Says:

    True Education Reform in two steps.:
    1-Shorten High School by 2 years.
    If children of other countries are college ready by our Sophomore year, so can ours!
    2-Nationalize Higher Education Tuition.
    Work requirements are increasingly in need of college/vocational graduates. High School diplomas & G.E.D largely haven’t been cutting it anymore since the early 1990s.

    A good chunk of this is very general rhetoric and but does not show specifics of his ideas. Arne Duncan, and President Obama’s education policy is based on putting it more into the “free market”. In Chicago he was key to pushing charter schools and closing public schools. Privatizing schools is the worst choice because it forces parents to find the best school and puts added pressure on them to have their child be accepted by those schools lest they be left with lower quality schools.
