10. If a wealthy person wants to send their kid to a state college, I think that's fantastic.

I'm pro. Instead of being exposed to only the upper echelon, they will get to know people from across the economic and social spectrum. And they will be better citizens because of it. Isn't that the reason we fund public education in the first place?

Everyone in America should have the right to a four-year college degree if they so choose. Just as they have the right for a public education. A high school diploma is an arbitrary cutoff.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
