The free tuition would be paid-for by a per-transaction tax on Wall Street street speculation not individual tax-payers, according to Sanders' plan.
I really like the idea of encouraging/affording more Americans to be better educated by putting a cost on speculative traders who hurt their investors with perpetual high-risk trades and losses. The tax-payers bailed out Wall Street when it drove itself into the ground with that bullshit and screwed our economy.
A very small tax on all speculative trades could generate massive revenues to cover tuition and reduce existing student loan debt. Seems more than fair to me, based on what I know about it.
