Why should someone who doesn't go to college pay taxes to make college free for others? Because those others pay taxes to make trade school free. Because they teach your kids or at least the young people who will care for you when you are old. Because we are stronger together than apart.

Why should smokers get health coverage? Because human rights are for humans, the human without a flaw does not exist, and a government agency to identify all smokers is not something I want to pay for or live with.

Why should someone get out of their student debt when I didn't? Because I'm not sadistic. I do not wish for others to suffer if I've suffered, but rather, just the reverse.

What would prevent someone turning to Trumpism? Something better to turn to.

Is what's left of BBB such a thing? Was the original BBB such a thing? I very much doubt it. But the press releases you'll read if they enact BBB into law will suggest that its creators know damn well what it should have been.
