In it to win it

Candidates in the presidential election definitely have there own sets of objectives when it comes to winning the election. In the article Mitt Romney talks about how he does not want everyone to go to college as a response to Obama's opinion that everyone should have some sort of post high school learning. Romney is a republican and he wants to win republican votes, so why would he not want everyone to go to college. The answer to this question is made up of many parts. First if not everyone goes to college, that means that only the selected few who can afford college will go. If this is true and the selected few can find resources to go to school, then there will not be as much taxes allocated to post highschool education. The amount of state schools will drop severely and taxes that were previously spent toward state colleges will be spent on other things that benefit the big business outlook. Another motive to say that not everyone needs to go to school is to collect the votes of the citizens who decided against going to college. By saying that everyone should go, you would be putting down the decisions made by many working class Americans. These voters also do not want to pay taxes toward sending other people to school when they decided to or even were not able to attend college. Many republican business owners also rely on unskilled laborers to run their business (Mcdonald's for example) and if the entire work force was educated and skilled, these business would have no workers. In our type of government there is only room for two major political parties and by having only two, each candidate is forced to choose one side or another to every issues that differs from their opponent. The fact that this happens just shows that each politician is just trying to absorb the votes that their competitor missed. This style of getting elected proves that people are only in it to win it and are willing to say and do anything that gets them elected.

My chart shown above shows the outcomes of invading Afghanistan and if each path is followed it would have made more sense not to invade than to invade. We already suffered a loss and then we suffered more. The only reason that we did invade was strictly and emotional aspect.
