Rand Paul: College tuition should be a tax writeoff

“Let’s let college students deduct the entire cost of their educations over their working careers. Let’s make college tuition entirely deductible,” Paul said. Paul did not elaborate on how this would happen and his campaign did not return a request for comment.

Paul, who took to the stage to The Who, pointed to tech visionaries and college dropouts Steve Jobs and Bill Gates as examples of innovators who didn’t conform to rules. He quoted both Jobs and Pink Floyd.

“Pink Floyd also understood that genius needs to be left alone. Whether your ideas are p.c. or not, whether you’re a painter or a self-proclaimed prophet the exhortation is to shine. To not let conformity dim your light. To shine on, you crazy diamond,” Paul said.
