For reasons that remain a mystery, there is something deeply lodged in the American mind that connects any sort of unpaid service to the teachings of Karl Marx. That is unfortunate, especially when so many college grads, unable to find the high-paying jobs they were expecting upon graduation, are silently suffering the sting of exorbitant student loans that continue to go unpaid. Much like healthcare, which the United States also refuses to provide to its citizens free-of-charge, a higher education is not a privilege specially reserved for a tiny wealthy elite, but a right for all citizens regardless of class or status. Instead of contemplating dark, self-destructive thoughts, Americans should speak out and demand far more in terms of social services from those free-wheeling, tax-avoiding corporations. Give the captains of industry a free lesson in both economics and equality they will not soon forget.
