&gt; From where does the business get the college-educated workforce so that it can be viable in the first place?<p>That&#x27;s insanity. Businesses pay <i>more</i> for college educated employees exactly because they are worth more, and in doing so they are &quot;paying their fair share&quot;. It&#x27;s not like these college educated employees are donating the extra money they should be making to the companies they work for. They demand higher salaries and companies often pay them. Again, everybody is square in the deal.<p>It would be just as insane for me to suggest that no individual is entitled to the money they earn because without all the private companies out there they wouldn&#x27;t have all the tools and services required to achieve that success. Therefore, businesses are entitled to their labor for discounted rates or even for free.
