$1.5 Trillion GOP Tax Cut Thread

[JA]

Speaking as a grad student, there are way too many grad students in this country. That said, ensuring only the rich can become a grad student is not the way to go.

The right-wing has always been about ensuring the protection and preservation of privilege, even at the expense of merit. America's entire educational system, but especially its higher education system, is systematically structured to favor persons with privileged backgrounds. The government's attempts at leveling this field will be seriously harmed by these Republican policies and I don't think that's unintentional.

They also need to use the "TAX RAISERS!" clubs to knock Costello and Meehan and Fitzpatrick too. I can almost see the suburban ship wreck in the distance

I can already smell the young suburban Democratic professionals .

But honestly, I don't think this tax plan will be the main cause of the coming suburban curbstomping (it's coming though ). Even most VA-10, IL-06 or NJ-07 voters would see a tax cut. The problem is that the media has been covering this as if everyone in a high tax state would pay more in taxes, which isn't true.

RIP Graduate Students, Research Programs, and Higher Education/Professionalization institutions in this country if this passes.

Music to the GOP's ears.

They want more racist uneducated hicks and less grad students. Please and thank you.

We don't take kindly to no fancy, high-falutin Yankee book-learnin'! - 2/3rds of the GOP

45% of Trump voters has a college degree tho.

Yeah, and a number of those voters are RINO Toms who think the GOP is something it isn't.

Few of them may agree with Trump's right-wing cultural rhetoric, but they damn sure love his "fiscal conservatism." Don't mistakenly believe that a college degree suddenly makes someone more empathetic and liberal; they can be just as bigoted and focused on the preservation of their privileges (particularly financial) as anyone.

More education can lead conservatives who turned to trolling to cope with being ridiculed in college for their views to become radicalized and engage in a life of thought crime.

Are you trying to make us believe that you're educated?

Not just Climate change, in every question, College educated Republicans are giving crazy answers. Totally weird, maybe all these crazy conservative organizations in colleges & Infowars is having some effect.

So, what you're telling me is that Republicans believe crazy Republican things? #SHOOK
