They disguised a 15% increase within their plateaus. This really hurts students who worked hard in high school and community college before Mizzou and only need 14-15 credits per semester. They are paying like they are taking 18 credits.

Colleges are only there for the money, so there is no need for testing. Some colleges will give a Doctorate Degree in hair tinting. Entrance exams are just another scam to take students money.

Harry, I wish I could upvote that. Today Cash does the talking, and tests just cause financial complications. Thank God, for school loans, that don't have to be paid back. The taxpayers can do that.

Regardless of income, people should get back what they paid in, with interest.

Max

Why should ambition, and success be penalized?

Max

Tax all of the income earned when paying in, but no income tax on the money paid back to retired people.

Max

Social security money was collected as a tax, now some politicians want to tax you, when you take back, what you were forced to pay into. How about only giving Social Security to those who paid into it? End the Fraudulent payments.
