> Just like the minimum wage.

Or how much exactly is one’s “fair share” that the “rich” aren’t paying in taxes.

You have to ask how much of that student loan money was used to finance spring break jaunts.

The student loans business is a predatory loans practice in the form of a criminal enterprise between colleges and politics as negotiated by the federal government being the consigliere.

Low interest loans for $80K on an education worth little to nothing when weighed against reality is no different than 20% pay-day loans. You borrowed $80K for an education you could have gotten with a library card and desire to learn for free. An $80K loan for a product worth very little.

This is yet another case where people do not know that many of us came from lower middle class families who taught it to work hard, study in school, and find a job/career that will support you. My wife characterizes the “more, please” crowd as the “give me... give me..” crowd. Good citizens work hard, pay their taxes on time, and are good neighbors, not leaches.

Why is anyone surprised by this? The left works by convincing people that they deserve what others have and don’t understand that most successful individuals succeed by hard work and persistence.

I paid my study loans back in the early 80s. I want a refund

Ditto, in the 20teens. Between our sons and ourselves we paid it all off.

The Union deaths were on the order of 360,000. The Rebel 260,000 were fighting to KEEP the slaves.

That does not negate the fact that a lot of people who look like me died to free them. You're welcome!

“The Union deaths were on the order of 360,000. The Rebel 260,000 were fighting to KEEP the slaves.”

The vast majority of the Confederate Army did not own slaves. They fought for state’s rights, and because their new nation had been invaded. According to your logic, the Union soldiers that came from states that had slaves (yes, there were slaves in some of the Union states) were fighting to keep the slaves as well. What irony!
