Calling a college education “free” is a contradiction because nothing in life is truly free. Someone will be responsible for paying for this education, even if they are not the person receiving it. To support this wave of hopeful college students, the American government will have to heavily tax the working and upper classes. Tuition will have to be inflated to offset the price of college and, in some cases, could become outrageously high. If the upper class is constantly taxed, what stops them from moving down a class? What stops the middle class from becoming the lower class? In an extreme situation, if the middle and upper classes were constantly taxed, it would risk creating a larger class gap. Perhaps the plan to fund college education begins with taxing only the wealthy. There are approximately 324 million people in America. This number increases every eight seconds, so there is a constant increase in citizens. Imagine if half of that number decided to go to college. For them, university education is free, but tuition is paid by the upper classes. Now, the average college tuition costs about $9,410 for in-state universities and about $32,405 for out-of-state students. This amount of money, per student, is paid for by upper class tuition.
