Holy sh#t, that's brutal. What were the last ramifications to "people on the periphery?" Did your common friends side with you or her? |
Looks like the GOP is finally going to take care of their own, like the Dems have been doing forever. Academia is 99 percent hostile to conservatives so what's the down side for Republicans? This won't be the last bill that disadvantages college campuses. I'd like to see a tax on billion-dollar university endowments. |
Seriously? You want to tank our nation’s intellectual future over partisan politics? You’re happy to starve cancer research programs and the arts and threaten comp sci advances to score one against your political opponents? You suck, and so do the many members of your party who think like this. |
And they're gonna kill Sesame Street and Big Bird too!! You hysterical types need to learn some new lies to tell. I've heard these before. |
Nice! |
Well I'd like to tax those disgusting megachurches and their slimy pastors preaching the Prosperity Gospel. They make me sick. But I don't believe in punishing people for their political beliefs because I'm not a Stalinist. And it's simple:the GOP hates education because the more educated you are, the less likely you are to fall for their B.S. and vote for them. |
These are the same institutions that have taken advantage of students who receive government loans and have continued to increase tuition annually. Something drastic needs to be done. The fact many have huge endowments with staff making 6-7 figure salaries while most of their students are graduating with student loans is disgusting. |
And why should the Federal government subsidize your useless Ph.D in epistemological philosophy? MD JD and MBA who take out loans to finance their educations are charged interest on top of being taxed on the eventual income that is then used to pay off loans. If your degree can't handle the cost it takes to get it, then maybe it's not worth our tax dollars either and better for all of us that you don't get it. |
Keep seeing women on their cheating boyfriends tinder profile saying theyre the cheat |
except for computer science phds there is a vast oversupply of phds compares to jobs available. not saying tuition taxing is a solution but something has to be done about this. academia has become serfdom for vast majority of people while a small number of superstars lead lavish lives. |
Divorced, hit the gym, lost 35lbs, found my abs, got a new rack and then got a new man who has a better job, more hair, and taller. |
Still the same broken, unhappy person inside though. And nothing is going fix that. |
Yup. New boobs won't fix that, sadly. My DH's ex tried that. She is still miserably unhappy 20 something years later despite being married to a really great guy. She really thought plastic surgery would fix her somehow. |
I do not think you understand how it works. As a grad student, I received a Stipend. I also received a tuition waiver -- that meant I did not pay tuition, which was worth more than my stipend. I never saw the cash for the tuition waiver. I just did not have to pay tuition. Lets say, I was earning 20K, and tuition was 40K. Under the current law, I paid tax on 20k -- my earnings. Under the house bill, I pay tax on 60K, my earnings & the tuition waiver. |
Thanks, Oprah. |
