Chapter 2 Of "Dollar Democracy On Steroids" by: Professor Peter Mathews, Page 73, 2nd Paragraph

   As a professor of political science at Cypress College in Southern California, I’ve seen hundreds of students drop out of college in the last several years because they could not afford the skyrocketing tuition and textbook costs. One of my former students, Tony Castro, discovered his strong interest in the study of politics in my introductory American Government class. His enthusiasm for this subject was sparked by a discovery that politics does not have to be about money and power games, but should be about making a positive difference in the world. Tony said his goal was to finish community college, earn his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees in Political Science, become a university professor, and inspire young people to change the world for the better.          The tragedy is that this academically promising young man was side tracked from this meaningful goal. After a semester or two, because of unaffordable education costs, he dropped out of school and went to work full time to pay for the rising cost of living in Southern California. Tony recently told me that he was hoping to return to college to finish his degree once he retires as a senior citizen! Tony’s experience is shared by hundreds of thousands of American youth today.
