A Real Trickle Up/Down Theory

It is a well known fact that college graduates make much more than high school graduates and logically one could state the college graduate pays more in taxes and contributes more to society and the economy than the college graduate. That is a statistical fact. Education is by far the most beneficial contribution the government makes--a contribution it benefits from as well as benefiting it citizens.

Some in the government claim that cutting taxes benefits it citizens by rewarding the wealthy for investing and that investing ultimately benefits citizens by providing jobs. Why not go further and educating its citizenry past high school by providing free college and University for anyone able to learn and attend school? This would provide more jobs in academia and provide society with a more educated populace; all of which would raise salaries and thus more tax revenues. Talk about trickle up/down!

It would also level the playing field between the haves and the have-nots, which is growing more apparent day by day.

Education is the best investment a Democracy can make.
