[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, hope your kids aren't in public school, and I really hope you don't plan on Social Security or Medicare.  Please don't take  unemployment benefits,  or complain  about potholes. Don't engage in anything that has federal funding, please, which includes higher ed, the arts, medical advances from research.

It's all a one sided understanding with you types, but you're the first to complain  about inflation,  right? We have inflation due to corporate gouging- they got bail outs and turned around and took advantage of the system by raising prices. 
. It's not even capitalism we have,  it's a 
system of oligarchy.

Our nation has the very rich, supported by tax cuts and benefits,  but also we have people literally starving on the street and dying from a lack of health  care access.  So is this the question you really want to ask  today?[/quote]

You are confused. Capitalism doesn’t mean don’t pay any taxes at all. Certain socialist services are necessary for a functioning capitalist society. And by the way the wealthiest 50% pay most of the taxes in this country so how is it that the wealthy aren’t paying their fair share. But paying taxes so someone’s student debt can be canceled when they alone agreed to their loan is not what capitalists had in mind (unless you want to buy votes). Or paying for illegal aliens’ health care for that matter. [/quote]

Not to derail, but Biden just cancelled student loan debt for 150K more, with loans less than $12K who have paid on them for over 10 years.  My question is How the hell do you pay on a 12K loan for over 10 years and not pay it off? Cannot wrap my mind around how little you'd need to be paying, and why you wouldn't just pay $125-150/month and get rid of them. [/quote]
