im not saying i am giving the 18k directly to someone. I am saying that if the fed govt split its demand evenly among all people some ppl would go bankrupt. So i am giving them 18k more to pay the govt so they get to keep 18k more of their own income. What i mean is i am giving you 18k to give to the govt.
I already said the median income at graduation at my school is 165k. That means half the school, at graduation, will make more than 165k their first year. I get paid that because i have 200k of debt and took risk.
If the govt subsidized my 200k, first of all where would that 200k come from? It would have to come from the surplus of ppl making more than that. We would have to give 200k to every student who wants to pursue higher education which would be everyone since its free. Who would be making that much to give 200k to every college grad every year? Why would anyone graduating from those places be in demand?
I am very glad the govt DID NOT GIVE ME THE 200K. I gain motivation to clear my debt which makes me a more productive person.
I never said making 200k a year is rich. In fact what i am trying to point out is that its the opposite. Its easily attainable. And it is rich enough to get us out of debt in one year. (if we took our nat debt and divided by working population its only like ~90k/person). And its not even the income im worried about. Im worried about the productive effort ppl like to contribute.
Ppl think guys like romney are selfish. I see people who decide to spend their time skiing as selfish. You could be producing more but you dont because you want to pursue your personal hobbies which have no benefit to society. On the other hand, no matter what you think about Bain capital laying off employees, it still has a net positive impact (albiet a small one) on society, at least financially.
