Cap of Change

03/17/2014

When you remove profit from something you allow it to develop a more genuine value. It's not a negative thing to frown at, rather its what we should've been doing all along. I believe this is what capitalism should be replaced with. Let people find value in necessities rather than have a corruptible market dictate the value to us. I don't want to be sold something, I want to be inspired. Non-profits will change the world after all. :)

As production costs plummet, the future lies with nonprofits.

Despite the record profits, our tax dollars shouldn't go to a corporation that is in bed with ALEC, which has lobbied against affordable higher education.

Your taxes shouldn't go to a shameful, ALEC-loving company like Sallie Mae! Tell Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to cut its contract NOW!

Amazing passion displayed by this young man, James Ward! campaign helped and access higher education that was otherwise unobtainable, because he couldn't even qualify for a loan! The government did him a favor and a community rallied around him to reach his dream. We can do it and this story further proves it!

"From homeless to Howard" might sound like the title of a movie, but for 19-year-old James Ward, this is his reality -- though it still feels like a dream. "It's surreal.

Another perspective of the troubling affairs surrounding our higher education as only Matt Taibbi can do. We can only control the actions of ourselves. We must stand together to that's the first step, creating a platform that empowers the students once again. Then we can together as a motivated community demand the issue of cost of higher education be resolved. We have actions to take in order to realize a solution.

The federal government has made it easier than ever to borrow money for higher education - saddling a generation with crushing debts and inflating a bubble that could bring down the economy

One way of covering investment loss is to increase revenue with consumer price inflation. Are tuition increases a result? Lets then work on

Not a huge surprise that Sallie Mae is in bed with ALEC

The nation's largest private student loan lender has done the unthinkable – joined ALEC. It's time for the company to put people over profits.
