Shocking to me how many people say "Absolutely not!" about their tax dollars paying for someone else being educated, but didn't seem to have too much of a problem with their tax dollars paying to bomb someone else to smithereens. What do you think our tax dollars go towards now??

They don't serve to mind 170 billion in corporate welfare either
An educated populace is ESSENTIAL for a successful democracy.

I don鈥檛 have children, yet my taxes go to schools. I don鈥檛 mind this because we want to invest in society and the future. I don鈥檛 understand why people insist nurses, teachers, etc be in massive debt to WORK for the betterment of society?

To advocate for student loan relief without first closing off the spigot of government loans is a non starter. Such a stance is evidence that one is not a clear enough thinker to have a say in fiscal policy

Who鈥檚 fault is that?

The wealthy in this country has always known how to get the middle class and the poor to fight for them. The majority of slave owners didn't fight and die in battle. The poor family did. Dividing you by religion, by race or financial status. Predatory student loans are a cancer
