I'm about to complete my 5th degree and I make $60/hour.

You're a real piece of work....a piece of work with your hand out. There. I said it. You have no clue what sacrifices people make to keep from being a burden, yet here you are with five degrees (not free) making $60 bucks an hour and still wanting other taxpayers to subsidize you. Disgusting to me.

It's also becoming obvious that most people today can't wrap their heads around the fact that a job is one method of earning income. There are plenty of others: investing, self-employment, starting a business, invention, innovation...

Either way it leaves me as a slave to my employer.

It's not a threat. I might not leave right away, but I refuse to contribute to a country that doesn't help it's citizens. What we did to Puerto Rico, what this tax bill is doing... it's becoming quite clear that the US is not a country acting in good faith.

Whatever. You're a perpetual student then....(must be nice). How many people would love to get a government check while going to school forever!
Yeah. How many people would just love to work on multi degrees while getting government assistance so when they finally have that 5th one, they can make lots and lots of money.
So glad to hear that NEXT YEAR you may be able to buy YOUR OWN insurance. That's real nice.
With an attitude like that, I would guess you won't be employed long and will be right back on government assistance complaining about the rest of us not paying enough taxes so you can work on that 6th degree, get free healthcare, and whine all day on ATS.
My first job ever, which started as an internship last summer started at $45/hour.
Next year I'll actually be buying my own insurance. Those options are either an exchange plan which is $550/month, or a work plan. Either way it leaves me as a slave to my employer.
I have other responsibilities too though, I have a sick mother that I'll have to take care of, when this plan removes her disability insurance.

If you really believe you've "suffered" so much, what are you still doing here? People literally float across 100s of miles of ocean on rafts trying to get here to escape actual suffering. You are incredibly spoiled and ungrateful for how fortunate you are to live here, and deep down you know it that's why you're still here. If you do leave it won't be because you can't make it here.

a reply to: Vector99 Have you read any of the proposal? The big corporate company's currently pay a 35% corporate tax. That number will drop to 20%. I am still reading this behemoth of a thing. And there is very little information about this out there. I doubt this plan is good for average Joe but we will see I guess.
This plan already admits it will create deficit. The only way to negate that deficit is government spending reduction. The reductions likely won't come from benefit programs, but rather trimming the fat from the steak of governmental employment, how is that bad?
Wrong, increased jobs and wage increases tax income. It has every time personal income has been cut. From JFK to Reagan. The problem was and always has been the bastards increase the spending.
Wait, so you mean to tell me this plan has the potential to lower Joe and Jane's Everyday's Taxes, Decrease Federal Spending, Promote Job Growth, AND Incentivize more money into actual savings accounts?
WTF? Are we in nazi germany?
