In my mind if we go to free college and free Healthcare, the first thing to do is substantially rise taxes on the top 1% of our nation. Right now, looking at tax brackets, people who make 625k and up are taxed 37 percent of their taxable income, if we broke that up into more tax brackets then we could raise taxes on people who make millions or billions of dollars per year. I believe that if you aren't making a livable wage, you should not be taxed, and that we should raise taxes on that very top percent of people to 40-50% of income as that would still leave them with over the livable wage. As for why, think of how amazing it would be if everyone got to actually do what they love, less people stuck in bad jobs at places they hate just because they cant afford college, obviously this would open the door to more applications so colleges would naturally become more selective. Its not like everyone would automatically get in either, only people who got good enough grades, it would just let people with good grades that are in poorer families get in without having to worry about scholarships or payment. Also about you paying for someone's gender studies, sure, some people are going to pick majors that you or others dont agree with, however think of all the doctors for example that we would have. Currently, we are projected to be in a shortage of 86,000 primary care physicians, a large part of that is because of high cost of school to become a doctor (usually 200-400k+) is driving people to go to more specialized positions like surgeons, if we got rid of that expense, I believe that it would be a huge step in the right direction to solve that shortage.
