Boneheaded, Dumbheaded, Braindead elitist thinking is killing the Democratic Party!

8. In today's economy, education is on its surface elitist.

In 1970, someone working a minimum wage job would only have to work 4.3'ish hours a day, 5 days a week to pay for tuition at Yale. Today, they would have to work over 17 hours a day. So without mommy and daddy footing the bill, or the prospect of being in debt for the better part of several decades, a higher education is for the rich.

Look at annual tuition at any higher level beyond community college and you'll see that a higher education is out of reach for the vast majority of working class people. Im over 40, and still slowly working towards my higher education.

Its not the education itself that is elitist, its how one has to get there in today's day and age. Education has been systematically cut off in the past three decades for those in the working class.
