Which party creates opportunity and which one seeks merely to divide up the spoils?

Noting that the unemployment rate is a low 4.5% overall and that tthe Associated Press reported on Friday that it's only 2% for college-educated people,

Donald L. Luskin goes on to ask,

Why don't the Republicans do more to connect with those who benefit from low taxes, free trade and expanding markets? What if they laid claim to having lowered the unemployment rate to 2% for those who do something for themselves, such as graduate from college?...At least it would spark a more productive debate about which party creates opportunity and which one seeks merely to divide up the spoils.

That part I agree with. Omitted in my ellipsis above, he snarks parenthetically,

graduating from college doesn't require much in the ways of new skills or actual knowledge.

I'd say that depends on the field of study. Students who learn, say, Chinese, do learn a new skill.
