And then, I had to pay full in-state tuition for my kids, who did not even qualify for any aid from BCS. We don't earn that little, but we sure could not afford full rides, either. If my kids were allowed to take student loans, they would have been forgiven now. But they were not allowed to have that option.
No, it is not better for me under republicans because it is all the same for me, no relief ever. I don't qualify for any housing aid, meal programs, or student financial aid, but I sure can't afford an SFH that is the median price for the DMV.

Give us numbers PP - what do you earn and what do you think is the median price of home in DC?

Stop giving free military aids to any country including Ukraine. Why we need to pay for their war?

This is how I feel! I don’t even want a raise anymore or promotion. This is what the dems do, take my hard work and give it to someone else. I will just stop working so hard. Too much for financial aid, so will pay out of pocket and be put whatever that amount is while others get loans forgiven or get aid. Why does my kid get disadvantaged because my husband and I are UMC?

🤔 when people think their kid who has huge advantages is disadvantaged

Let's give 25k for homeowners and increase prices of homes / increase inflation ?

Let's give more student loan forgiveness and that doesn't increase inflation right?

Let's increase taxes on business by 7%, that doesn't increase prices and increase inflation??

The policies are insane.

Again, the 1% hold a majority of the wealth, so they absolutely should pay at least what they are paying, if not more.

The issue is we don’t tax wealth. We should fix that.

The issue is that liberals who want higher taxes aren't already sending in additional payments to the Treasury.

Put your money where you mouth is. If you want higher taxes, start sending your checks to the Treasury ASAP.

Or are you a hypocrite?

I am sorry, this is just an asinine response.

Do you care about the debt or deficit? If not, tell me where you want to make the cuts that will impact that. Be specific and prove that your cuts will have an impact.

Do you believe the wealthy should pay a significantly less portion of their wealth in taxes? If so, why?

I don’t think you are even a high earner based on your sophomoric train of thought. It’s laughable that you defend proposals that make high earners wealthier as if doing so will make you richer by association. It’s pathetic.

So you're a hypocrite. Thanks for playing.

You cannot overpay the government PP. If you overpay the government they send it back.

Don’t be stupid and try to have a conversation grounded in reality.

Ha, of course you can. Anyone can send a gift to the Treasury for reduction of the public debt.

Good liberals who want to give their money to the Government should do so ASAP.

Who's stupid now?
