Have you ever heard the old saying that a conservative is just a liberal who got mugged?
¿Alguna vez ha escuchado el viejo dicho de que un conservador es simplemente un liberal al que asaltaron?
Well I got mugged -- to the tune of $60,000 a year.
Bueno, a mí me asaltaron - por una suma de $ 60.000 al año.
It’s called tuition.
Se llama matrícula.
Like everyone who cons themselves into attending a liberal arts college, I was captivated by
Al igual que todos los que van a una universidad de artes liberales, me cautivó
the idea of changing the world.
la idea de cambiar el mundo.
I would immerse myself in a diverse pool of academic thought, theory, and action.
Me gustaba sumergirme en un grupo diverso de pensamiento académico, teoría y acción.
Well, it didn’t quite work out that way.
Pero bueno, no funcionó de esa manera.
Over the course of four years, I was transformed from a plucky, free-thinking free spirit into
En el transcurso de cuatro años, me transformé de un espíritu valiente y libre
a cranky, get-off-my-lawn conservative.
en una mal humorada conservadora del tipo “lárgate de mi propiedad”.
The process started not long after I arrived at my elite East Coast school.
El proceso comenzó no mucho después de que llegara a mi escuela de élite de la Costa Este.
I thought I was there to expand my knowledge of the world; to debate the great ideas.
Pensé que estaba allí para ampliar mis conocimientos del mundo; para debatir las grandes ideas.
I soon realized, however, that my professors had something else in mind.
Pronto me di cuenta, sin embargo, de que mis profesores tenían otra cosa en mente.
Invariably each class followed the same monotonous ritual: identify a problem – say racism
Invariablemente, cada clase seguía el mismo ritual monótono: identificar un problema -digamos, el racismo
-- blow it up beyond all proportion, blame the problem on the white majority culture,
hacerlo estallar más allá de toda proporción; culpar el problema a la cultura de la mayoría blanca;
and then offer an unworkable solution, usually involving the government.
y luego ofrecer una solución inviable - generalmente involucrando al gobierno.
Everywhere I turned I saw political correctness.
Por donde quiera que iba, veía la corrección política.
At first, I just rolled with it.
En un primer momento, lo acepté.
Then, I got annoyed.
Luego, me fastidió.
Then, it started to tick me off.
Entonces, empezó a molestarme.
I was being brainwashed.
Me estaban lavando el cerebro.
Indoctrinated.
Adoctrinando.
And I was paying for the privilege with borrowed money.
Y yo estaba pagando por el privilegio ¡con dinero prestado!
Almost every speaker who came to campus was a leftist journalist, a leftist activist,
Casi todos los oradores que llegaban al campus eran periodistas de izquierda, activistas de izquierda,
or a leftist professor from another leftist school.
profesores de izquierda de otro de colegio de izquierda.
The ones who weren’t leftists were just weird.
Los que no eran izquierdistas eran simplemente unos raros.
One time, I attended a film lecture given by a very skilled paraplegic adult film star
En una ocasión, atendí a una clase de cine impartida por una habilidosa parapléjica, estrella de cine adulto
who showed us some of her “art.”
que nos mostró algo de su “arte”.
Another time I went to a performance given by a woman who engaged in
En otra ocasión, fui a una presentación dada por una mujer que se dedicaba
auto-eroticism behind a curtain.
al auto-erotismo detrás de una cortina.
I couldn’t deal with it – the PC culture, the mono thinking, the weirdness.
No podía lidiar con eso, la cultura de la corrección política, el pensamiento único, la rareza.
I needed some way to cope.
Necesitaba una forma de afrontarlo.
So, I got high – almost every day.
Así que, me empecé a drogar - casi todos los días.
Parenthetically, most of the worst stoners I knew are now working in finance or politics.
Por cierto, la mayor parte de los peores fumadores que conocí están trabajando ahora en finanzas o política.
In fact, this is what made me first realize that I was a fan of limited government.
De hecho, esto es lo que me hizo darme cuenta por primera vez que era fan de un gobierno limitado.
I do not trust these goofs to make policy.
No me fío de estos mentecatos para hacer política.
Their power must be constrained.
Su poder debe ser limitado.
This brings me to another black hole in the college experience: useless majors, the only
Esto me llevó a otro agujero negro en la experiencia universitaria: especialidades inútiles -
thing more pervasive than marijuana and irresponsible future leaders.
la única cosa más generalizada que la marihuana y los futuros líderes irresponsables.
I'm not being judgmental here: I have a degree in film and media studies and political science.
No estoy siendo crítica aquí: Tengo un grado en cine y estudios de medios y ciencias políticas.
Why did I choose them?
¿Por qué los elegí?
They’re subjects I like talking about.
Son temas de los que me gusta hablar.
Practical, right?
Práctico, ¿verdad?
But I wasn't alone.
Pero no estaba sola.
Most of my peers also chose to spend their student loan money on subjects better learned
La mayoría de mis compañeros también eligieron usar sus préstamos de estudio en temas que se aprenden mejor
on YouTube or Turner Classic Movies.
en YouTube o películas de TCM.
By the time graduation approached, none of us had developed any actual job skills.
Cuando se acercaba la graduación, nadie había desarrollado habilidades de trabajo reales.
And people want to raise taxes to pay for free college for everyone?
¿Y la gente quiere aumentar los impuestos para pagar universidad gratis para todo el mundo?
Are you kidding me?
¿Me están tomando el pelo?
No. Just, no.
No, simplemente no.
I'd only give a free education to a smart kid who promised to get a degree in whatever
Yo solo le daría una educación gratuita a un chico inteligente que prometa obtener un título en
the exact opposite of my degree is.
cualquier cosa sea lo exactamente opuesto a lo que es mi título.
And that degree didn’t come cheap.
Y ese título no vino barato.
I took on tens of thousands of dollars of debt, but never spent a minute learning how
Tomé decenas de miles de dólares de deuda, pero nunca aprendí a gestionarla.
to manage it. No such classes were offered.
Ninguna clase al respecto fue ofrecida.
I might have actually learned something useful if they had been.
Podría haber aprendido algo realmente útil si hubieran estado.
I didn't learn about taxes either, other than that the rich didn’t pay their “fair share”.
Tampoco aprendí acerca de los impuestos, aparte de que "el rico debe pagar su 'porción justa'".
It was only after college, when I was lucky enough to get my first job, that I discovered
Solo fue después de la universidad, que tuve la fortuna de obtener mi primer trabajo, que descubrí
the truth: the government takes away a lot of your money.
a verdad: el gobierno toma para sí un montón de tu dinero.
Frankly, it’s shocking.
Francamente, es impactante.
And that’s not even counting the mandatory $400 a month deduction for my student loans.
Y eso sin contar los $ 400 obligatorios al mes para la deducción de mis préstamos estudiantiles.
I’ll be probably have that albatross around my neck for the rest of my life.
Probablemente tenga esa carga alrededor del cuello por el resto de mi vida.
Really, I can’t believe my peers and I spent so much time shaming conservatives for wanting
Realmente, no puedo creer que mis compañeros y yo pasamos tanto tiempo avergonzando a los conservadores por querer
to lower taxes.
bajar los impuestos.
A past version of myself would call this desire to keep what I earn selfish.
Una versión pasada de mi misma, llamaría a este deseo de mantener lo que gano “egoísta”.
The current, cheerfully realistic version of me knows this: I can spend my money much
La actual, alegre versión realista de mí sabe esto: yo puedo gastar mi dinero
better than the politically correct stoners who are running the government can.
mucho mejor que lo que pueden los fumadores, políticos correctos que están dirigiendo el gobierno.
So, I guess, in a roundabout way, I did get something of value out of my expensive liberal
Así que, supongo que - de manera indirecta - sí obtuve algo de valor de mi
arts education after all.
cara experiencia en mi educación en artes liberales después de todo:
Common sense.
Sentido común.
