Nothing irks me off more than libertarian college kids...

[LordBrownTrout]

Nothing irks me off more than libertarian college kids who pay no taxes telling me - who is backing their student loans with my taxes - that I want to tax them too much. Boys and girls, just shut up. Enjoy going to college on loans with low rates of interest - and don't ask why the interest is so low. Just know that government is bad - its evil! Ask them if they want to eliminate the department of education? YES! Do you want us to eliminate your student loans so you can pay double the interest you pay now? NO!

Its quite easy for people who are 19 years old with no responsibilities and living partially off of loan money to say they should pay a flat tax, isn't it?

Funny how you can never complain about the outrageous tuition and costs of a four year college degree. You have no problem with that. Why don't you go after the universities for charging these high costs? You go after every other corporate type enterprise for their profits. Otherwise, you're just hacking along as usual.

Pretty funny to see lefties complaining about anything going on politically in colleges.

For the most part, only one view is allowed on most campuses, and it's theirs. Anything else is an anomoly.

College kids are not supposed to have diverse views?

Yes, this is the hallmark of a true Progressive.

Well, as a former "libertarian college kid," I think I speak for all the rest when I say A.) we don't care, and

60% of college students attend on loans. Are you telling me the libertarian college kids are the other 40%? I guess they just don't think the 60% on loans should be there, and it should be just them, right?

B.) you can only guess at our financial situation. So get over it.

What few libertarians who worked their way through school and did it without loans don't hesitate to brag about it. Though its hard to imagine how they could have thought it would have been fair to impose higher taxes on them while they were working there way through. Perhaps they just aren't aware the typical college kid working his way through school would pay more taxes under either a flat tax or a consumption tax.

So basically all libertarian college kids fit into one of two categories:
A) hypocrites for wanting to eliminate the public funding that is partially supporting their education
B) masochists for wanting to change tax policy in a way that would actually make it harder for them to work through school

A is the biggest category.

So many straw-men and so little time.

I'll settle for this, since it's the least obnoxious claim, libertarians do not want a flat or consumption tax. They want to eliminate the income tax and replace it with absolutely nothing.

That's right - I forget. They want their subsidized student loans and their federally funded colleges - obviously, they attend them in droves - they just don't want any revenue or debt to be raised to pay for it.

Universities don't set the price of the goods and services they need to function.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so stupid as to equate complaining about the content of someone's views with complaining about them having a view at all. My bad.

I said libertarian kids on college loans are hypocrites. I didn't say college kids shouldn't have diverse views. Do you understand what words mean?

Right, that's why they call for the abolishment of the subsidized student loans and federally funded colleges.

The board of trustees set the prices, some may be appointed by the governor of the state. Each state varies. Tuition and costs are hiked every year.

Yes, I'm told often about how lefties are far more intelligent than anyone who dares to disagree with them on something. And I appreciate your willingness to communicate with someone with my limited intellectual capacity.

That said, I notice you didn't refute my point, choosing instead a predictable path of all partisan ideologues: Personal insults and diversion.

The portion of the pittance in taxes that a loser like you pays is not likely to pay for the college tuition for one student for one day. So please stop pretending you have any ownership of this issue. There's nothing more annoying than a loser who has leeched off the system all his life pretending he's ever paid anywhere near INTO the system, the amount that he has taken OUT.

Most college kids go through a sophomoric phase. If they actually learn anything in the intervening years, it's that simplistic, black-and-white views on practically any topic don't really work.

These kids are thinking into the future..

By taking the bread offered by the Department of Education and then claiming they want to eliminate the department? Yeah that's thinking into the future alright, as in "by the time the policies I support are implemented they will only hurt people younger than me so fuck em, I'll take mine now". Really good planning ahead.

believe it or not, and are quite well aware that their future is being damaged by people who share the same dangerous philosophies as you.

"Dangerous political philosophies" - really? Here's an exercise: Lets look back in history at which groups were typically accused of having "dangerous political philosophies". Now look back at which groups did the accusing of groups they claimed to have "dangerous political philosophies". Compare, contrast.

Nothing pisses me off more than liberals who couldn't give a damn about the future of our next working class.

Oh please you can't be for real. The Republicans have done everything they can over the last 20 years to reduce the power of the working class. The libertarians in particular have three main goals 1) reduce wages and salaries for the working class 2) lower taxes on the rich 3) eliminate laws that make it harder for the wealthy to use the lower class like cattle and which make it possible for the middle class to exist at all.

Student loan debt has exceeded 1 trillion dollars, and tuition is being hiked all over the place. Let stay focused, shall we?

Yes - let's stay focused like those little libertarian college kids - who know the Dept. of Education is evil, except that it enable them to get a loan at a good rate so they can go to a school which in many cases is heavily subsidized by the public.

Also - we should continue to cut public funding for universities and then continue to act as if we don't know why the tuition keeps going up.

It all plays into the Libertarian....I've got mine....fuck everyone else
or better yet......I've got what Daddy gave me, why can't everyone else do the same?

The perfect party for immature children

How is one a hypocrite if one simply sees the faults in the system? My Dad is on social security and he thinks it should be abolished in favor of a scaled down social welfare program. That doesn't make him a hypocrite, it makes him someone that wishes he'd have been able to invest his contribution instead of having it taken from him. He had no choice but to abide by the current situation.

People see the same problem with escalating costs of college, fueled primarily by the government student loan program.

You live under the blanket of security provided by the military. Does that mean you're a hypocrite if you think the DoD should be cut in half?

[whitehall]

I don't know how it feels to be "irked-off" but I imagine it's a lot easier to find gaggles of socialists on campus rather than a libertarian or two. The left will never be happy until everyone on campus is converted to the Obama peculiar brand of Stalinism.

What do you now about libertarians?

Let the experts handle it

I'd prefer to let the shit shoveler dot he shoveling and the libertarians do the libertarian ideology explaining. That way we dont get comments like yours mistaken as relevant to libertarianism. it's only relevant to shit shoveling and by your posting here, you're a world class heavy weight champ at shoveling out shit.


Congrats on that BTW.

No kidding? Libertarians have individual views, rather than acting like the Borg? Who could have guessed?
