30. I realize that you haven't accepted his logic on this....

but he is framing this on fairness.

We bailed out the banks, therefore it is only fair for them to help the American people.
The Billionaires, who are now trying to buy our government, have benefited from policies that have transferred the wealth of this country to them, at the expense of the poor and middle class, therefore it is only fair for them to help the American people.

In order for us to be competitive economically in the world, we need a well educated population....our current system makes it impossible for some to acquire an education, and places a massive economic burden on those who do attempt it. This both unfair and against our national interest.

"He is a socialist" as an attack just won't cut it against that kind of framing.
