2. Education is not elitist. Current education levels in this country are not sufficient to compete in

the global economy. Dependence on corporate jobs is 20th century thinking IMO. Before the Industrial Age, Americans were entrepreneurs by necessity. The Industrial Age changed all of that. Now that technology has leveled the competitive playing field globally, Americans must go back to being entrepreneurs again. The Internet makes it possible for Americans to market their talents to a global market. Greater levels of education is the only legitimate path forward in the 21st century. Mimicking a carnival barker who promises to bring back the 1960's economic advantages that America enjoyed is not a truthful solution. America must up it's game and greater levels of education is the only way to do that. Why is education frowned upon in this country ?
