I know many students can’t get government money if the family has too much income or assets; does it bother you that these schools get taxpayer money while sitting on these piles of money?
I was commenting on the fact that you think that people who earn less money should be taxed at a lower rate.
Everybody should be taxed at the same rate. It’s called equal treatment under the law.
And universities should get no tax breaks whatsoever.
I spent six years Active Duty as an enlisted troop when I joined the Active Reserves so I could finish college.
I was on my own with parents retired and had nothing but my old GI Bill and a low-paying job. My university made me apply for Pell Grants and the admissions office told me I had to include my parents income. I told the ignorant young woman I was not only an adult on my own but had six years of military under my belt in a duty that had me do more for my Country than she would ever do in her lifetime.
She got really ticked off and took my submission but I was turned down because I had a "scholarship" from the Government in the form of my $410 per month GI Bill.
