Fuck. Better title: Everyone who thinks your taxes should be raised get upset when their taxes get raised.

It must be a confusing time to have brain damage.

I'm sorry I can't hear you through the sound of my tax burden going down.

“I don’t want to understand other people’s problems, as long as I’m doing ok. Fuck you, got mine”

Dont worry, Starbucks will still hire you without your graduate degree in gender studies.

You think graduate students are mostly gender studies students?

I think current academia has allowed itself to be infected and ultimately consumed by gender studies so you're all basically the same thing now.

Zero chance youre american.

Everyone I disagree with is a Russian spy

Fuck you ivan, i can smell the potato vodka and desperate living conditions from here

No people who display profound ignorance of how America works and repeat retarded shit like that are probably Russian spies.

That is the dumbest thing I’ve read on Reddit in a long time. Is this pie, are you trolling, because if not you really need to lay off the fat right wing bullshit.

r/science has a political hit piece stickied right now. Closing your eyes and pretending it's not happening doesn't make it less real.

Accurate reporting is not a political hitpiece.

Which part of that hit piece is accurate?

The part that calls you a vodka swilling agenda posting slavtard.

All of it

That's nice. Where's the accurate reporting?

It doesn't matter if it's "accurate" or not. Their own rules forbid that kind of post.

How can a human being be this retarded? I'm honestly upset you can only kill yourself once.

Does your mom know you're using the computer again?

Was that supposed to be witty or funny? Maybe you should have focused more on your college degree than pepe memes.

Sooo...no?

These are honestly some of the worst comebacks I have ever heard.

> hurr durr you unsmart.

Maybe you should have focused more on your college degree

Oh, like they got into college in the first place.

I'm sure decent schools will offset the increased tax burden for actually useful majors.

I got a degree in Computer Science and Starbucks refused to hire me so I guess the joke's on all of us.

I actually agree that removing all the tax benefits isn’t good, but not all masters should receive that. It should be - sliding scale based on what degrees are needed the most at the time you start. If we need more teachers than teachers get a higher benefit, but an aerospace engineer or mathematician wouldn’t get as much. It would only apply for the average time needed to obtain the higher degree in that field, so if you take a couple years extra you could lose a portion of that benefit.

What if I understand, but I'm glad that you're suffering?

Does that make +4 insightful?

Fuck you, got mine

Is still morally superior to "Fuck you, gimme yours."

"I wouldn't follow you out of a burning building."

You're right. You wouldn't. I don't leave witnesses.

Tax money is spent on things that won’t benefit you, that’s kind of how it works. They need the money, unlike say people who own private jets who are getting a tax break.

Also everyone who thinks tax loopholes should be closed are now having a hissy fit over a tax loophole being closed.

They closed a "loophole" for recent students that havn't made any money yet you retard. This isn't a loophole, its an incentive for higher education so more people don't end up like you.

its an incentive for higher education so more people don't end up like you.

Congratulations, you just properly described a loophole.

So marriage and having kids is a loophole?

Doesn't America overproduce PhDs?

It overproduces PhD's for which there is not enough demand in the market, especially in liberal arts departments. Increasing taxes on grad students would be disastrous, though, because it also affects those PhD's that aren't worthless.

If by disasterous you mean fantastic. Currently uni charges whatever the hell they want because uncle Sam pays for it all. Neither uni or student have any incentive to keep costs down. American tax payers get screwed as a result.

This puts pressure on uni to fix the bubble we are in.

this puts pressure on uni to fix

Oh no it's a retard

They either lower costs, increase pay or admit less students. The Democrat party won't allow them to admit less students, and neither of the other 2 options are bad for anyone except uni.

win/win

The industry will be fed by retards who get loans and the colleges will do nothing

Yeah, that's good hard earned money that could be going into useful projects. Like a concrete wall.

We want more STEM PhDs m8, it's a good thing.

Absolutely nothing is stopping them from claiming the tuition that they aren't charging these students is now suddenly 100$. Plus any program that produces useful majors will likely be able to offset this, as they generally have cash on hand.

Yeah. All of my friends from school are a few years into chemistry or matsci PhD programs and this will fuck them super hard if it passes.

Woman's studies degrees are a negative. You are literally less employable with one than before you wasted your parent', and the government's money.

Yep, we have entire degree programs that exist solely for the sake of making said degree programs. And degree programs that are more of a psudeo-scientific religion than anything resembling actual science. Universities have been needing to cut for a long time now. We waste tons of money on stupid shit like, "A feminist glaciology framework for global environmental change research".

you have a child's grasp of what are serious and impactful decisions. you probably think fox news is actually fair and balanced.

I guess being a democrat you are an expert on what a child's grasp feels like.

I guess with you being a moron you are an expert at being willfully naïve?

naïve

ï

lol

I'd say don't downvote the lolcows, but your teats are running dry.

Underrated

Ooooooooh

God damn.

Muh fox news

muh kneejerk muh reaction

Is this ironic or are you just retarded?

>Socialists complaining about being taxed

mf when I have no face

Except they would t be taxed on actual income earned, so...

Magic money sure has made a comeback in socialist circles.

It’s not magic money, they’re giving them a discount on tuition

That they would otherwise have to pay.

Good point, we should all pay sales tax on the full price of items that are on sale.

We pay sales tax based on what a good changed hands for. "On sale" is usually just a marketing gimmick.

But I thought you cared about taxing people on what they would have paid without getting a discount?

Damn, son. You can’t even be bothered to hold onto your principles for the span of two consecutive posts.

Fuck you're retarded. Use stock options if you need to make a comparison. Sales tax doesn't make sense. There is no set price for retail. On sale is a meaningless marketing phrase.

There’s no set price for tuition either, nitwit. Schools are free to charge what they want.

Holy shit, the school sets the price moron.

And the store sets the price for the goods they sell, what’s your point?

That "on sale" and "discount" are meaningless terms. If the school wants to charge x amount for graduate student tuition then that's what they should get taxed on.

And they are charging the student $0, so they should get taxed on that. In other words they shouldn’t have to pay tax on the value of the grant, just as shoppers shouldn’t have to pay taxes on the difference between the sale and non-sale price of their purchases.

They are charging it tho.

No, they aren’t. They are saying “you get free tuition here as a grad student.” They don’t pay them the cost of tuition and then bill them for the same amount.

Not free when you have to work for it

You have to work for your degree whether you are charged for the tuition or not.

They are. Where do you think the grant money comes from? Magic money land?

School gets grant. School "pays" the grant to the student in the form of a waiver. School pays no taxes.

Now they can't do the last part.

They could just reduce the tuition and not charge it to the grant. But they don't want to because $$$.

Or the school can pay tax on the tuition.

I'm sure Harvard's endowment can cover paying tax on their graduate tuition instead of pushing it off onto their students. But schools are pretty greedy and tend to treat graduate students like shit so I wouldn't be surprised if lots of them got hit hard by this.

I'd still blame the schools 100%, though. They're just upset that they can't skirt around paying taxes on the tuition waivers anymore.

The one thread there where all the comments aren't deleted.

all academia outside of mathematics is leftist garbage and should be destroyed. give them 100% taxes

Nah, we should just trap them in gas chambers and kill them all for even daring to choose anything but mathematics. Compsci and medical science might be ok but anything else goes straight to the camps.

TFW STEM master race memes become real life. TFW the meme dimension is fusing with ours and meme magic is becoming real.

There are plenty of fields which have right wing graduates thoughm they just go and actually earn money in the private sector. It's just that academia is chocked with commies. I think a tax on academics would be more suitable

Yeah make education necessary for jobs even more expensive because some academics disagree with you. Great plan

Medicine is leftist garbage too? (((BIG PHARMA))) lol

(((BIG MATHEMATICS)))

school to therapist pipeline

encourage young people to partake in morally abhorrent activities and then when they inevitably end up with a mental illness/personality disorder, profit off overpriced useless SSRIs/SNRIs and $100 for 15 minutes psychiatrist sessions

The one thread there where all the comments aren't deleted. Of course it's an agenda post filled with inaccurate information.

Source that it’s inaccurate?

Why did that thread give me a chub? Is there something wrong with me?

Why else would you he here?

That's what you get for having SRS mods on the /r/science mod team.
