The Ruling Class & American Colleges

We would like to thank all our subscribers and we urge everyone to subscribe, if you can! NOW for this week's edition of *How Do You Defend That?* we discuss how 73% of Americans are denied access to whole portions of their own economy through the use of the American college system, which is not about learning.

Here are some very good articles on the dis-education of American colleges:

EDP Editorial:

a very big element of the working American economy and society that no one is looking at: the impact of the American college system on the economic structure of our country. The full travesty is that 73% of the American people do not have a college degree, and are hence prohibited from applying for well-paying jobs that are very easy-to-do in the American private sector. What's more the gigantic growth in regulations has made it incredibly costly for Americans to start-up new businesses to compete against this dominant American private sector economic model that discriminates against Americans without a college degree (be it a B.A. either in useless Feminist Studies or English). So is it any wonder that 47% of Americans now work (http://www.newsweek.com/2010/05/17/blue-collar-blues.html) in low-wage jobs? Indeed, they are denied access to their own publicly-support (their taxes-supported) technical schools -- they cannot attend publicly-supported U.S. medical schools to train to become a doctor (unlike the famous author W. Somerset Maugham who never went to college and just went straight into medical school back in the day); law school (unlike Abraham Lincoln who never went to high school and college and just interned to become a lawyer back in the day); they cannot attend nursing schools or even physics schools. 73% of Americans are denied access to these institutions they give their taxes to, because of their lack of *any* college degree. The lunacy is compounded further by the fact that the American people's own government grants special hiring preferences to *anyone* with a college degree. (*So 73% of Americans are made disadvantaged by their very own government!*) But the cream on top of this enormous destruction of genuine job competition, is that the American college system is actually a *dis-education* (see here (http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2005/12/18/are_colleges_fa­iling/), here (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-d-atkinson-phd/the-failure-of-american-h_b­_626289.html), here (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/03/how-a-new-jobless-era-will-­transform-america/7919/), here (http://www.nysun.com/new-york/students-know-less-after-4-college-years/62901/), and *so on*). What is really going on in this Bizzare-O World is that the American college system has become the equivalent to the medieval priests of lore and history who blessed the divine right to rule of Kings and Princes -- except now it's *King of Media Communications*, *Prince of Sociology*, *Queen of Economics and Law*, or *Prince of Feminist Studies*. Elitism-in-action, and it's a tragedy for 73% of Americans -- most of whom do not deserve this huge denial of opportunity, of possibility.

[MrFaisel34]

If it's true that Charles Schwab only hires people with college degrees, it's merely employer grandstanding, because there are too many people with B.A. degrees looking for work. And Charles Schwab can afford, in this economy, to be choosy.

[MrFaisel34]

Studies show that undergrad degrees from Ivy league colleges don't necessarily give one the advantage. The Indian guy with the Harvard B.A. may have been hired because that particular Charles Schwab may have needed a minority to give a little color to the office.  Now graduate degrees from Ivy league colleges can be a bit more advantageous.

given the way the economic situation is going, it really isn't going to matter who has a college degree or not, as humanity will be fighting over the left over resources, what is left of the resources on this Earth, and money won't really matter, as people will be fighting for what's left.

And where will all my excess cash go? Well, it's not going into stocks or anything with wallstreet's name on it. I think I'll save up for some rural real estate where I can grow potatoes when groceries start getting really expensive.

Ya it's a class system allright. Instead of titles you have ivy league degrees. Yes Shwab can steal from me through taxation but they can't make me invest with them. Main street is pulling out of wall street more than ever before. We know BS when we see it. I also rebelled on debt, not through default but through throttling back on spending and paying it off. Just sent the last mortgage payment 2 weeks ago. Now my usual spending is 30.07% of my take home pay.
