Dunno about that! Wanting taxes to pay for free college for everyone is pretty far-left in my opinion.
It's also a terrible idea. I grew up in a place and time where nearly everyone went to college. It doesn't just automatically benefit everyone. It just means that about half of the people do useless degrees for the sake of getting one, when they really weren't suited to academia.
The idea that free college for everyone would be good is based on a flawed reading of the statistics on income. Failing to take into account how much a college degree's benefit is just based on credentialism rather than actual education (a lot of it)
