LordoftheMorons 01/14/20 7:02:02 PM #320:	HeroDelTiempo17 posted... Moral hazard? That's a stretch. I realize you're opposed to the most progressive universal programs but I understand that generally these programs are paid for by a shared tax burden, yes. If someone doesn't plan on having kids or going to college, their taxes still go to public schools. Is that a moral hazard? Where is the line? Besides, there are ways of paying for this that dont involve raising taxes on most people. I'm not 100% on this, but because it's part of Warren's education plan, this may be covered under her wealth tax. But if that's still not acceptable there's also deficit spending, which we don't seem to have a problem with if it's for tax breaks or wars. No, Im not opposed to public services that not everyone chooses to take advantage of. My issue here is that to the extent that anyone made sacrifices to pay off their student loans, theyre actively being punished: they would have been better off paying as little as they could. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:932933701] in Politics C...
