It’s been obvious for years that the GOP, including Senator Thom Tillis Congressman Robert Pittenger don’t value education at all. After all, it’s much easier to get people to believe the lies about their economic and cultural plans if the populace is uneducated and ignorant. It’s stunning to see such a blatant attack on our higher education system though. This tax provision would almost instantly gut the masters and doctoral programs at almost every top college and university in the USA. Since those masters and doctoral students also provide a lot of teaching positions for introductory classes, colleges and universities will suddenly be deprived of masses of people to teach, leaving undergraduate students with no instructors.
This is so seriously fucked up, it’s mind-blowing. 😡
