Doesn't that way of thinking already provide opportunities for free educational opportunities that said people choose not to take advantage of? Will it make you feel better that I suffer more to pay the way of those who don't strive to reach their full potential? Unfortunately I've witnessed that some folks lives are centered around handouts, and you are suggesting I empty my pockets to support them even more?
