According to the survey, an astounding 60 percent of college students nationwide believed that environmental protection should be as high a priority as protecting jobs. An even higher 69 percent said they believe that basic health insurance is a right that the government should provide for those unable to pay. And only 22 percent said they believe that cutting taxes is the best way to create jobs (37 percent disagreed). By no means, however, are we looking for handouts. Forty-six percent disagreed with...
