At its core this argument (which is never delivered in good faith btw) is based on a lack of object permanence; b/c college at point of sale is “free” for the wealthy we’re asked to ignore that under Sanders’ system the rich pay 5X, 10X, 1000X more for tuition b/c you know, TAXES
Buttigieg is banking on you having the mind of an infant. The whole basis of “we don’t want to give free college to millionaires and billionaires” is the same basis of peek-a-boo
Buttigieg: under Sanders’ plan state schools are funded by massively raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires but...without seeing a line item on their IRS form or you personally viewing an old man with a monocle writing an oversized check who’s to say what they’re paying
