It's a good thing but, based on my limited college experience, I always imagine the person that would be spearheading this thing to be someone who self identifies as a anarcho-communist, with a hipster beard, and a philosophy undergrad degree.

They'll come around on the abortion question after you point out enough times that 16 million kids are never gonna break into your car now. Nah, the response to that is that they should just be allowed to shoot them all. A lot of pro-lifers are totally OK with post-natal abortions.

MBA ends up being a complete, you pay for the experience kind of deal. The other grad school stuff is far more 'on the job training' with very little coursework past your 1st year and spend the rest of the time working and/or teaching.

In a 'fair' system it would be taxed as well. Not that I want that for anyone. In the current system, companies can provide relevant on the job training or access to higher ed without penalty. If I do the same for my employees (in higher ed) it's at a substantial penalty for people making a pretty lovely income. Most of my students take actual classes for the 1st year then sign up for 'research credit hours' basically accruing credit class hours for their time researching in the lab. They 'pay' tuition on this but it is up to me to pay for it out of federal grant funding etc so they never pay for that, but beyond the 1st year the tuition charges are all bullshit anyway. While they are accruing credit hours for 'class', there is no class. This is another way the Universities can skim off of the grant funding of their employees (me in this case). Everything about the system is poo poo, but the bill specifically is only punishing the bottom rung of a lovely system (the graduate students). My 2 employees earn 24k per year and will be taxed at around a 79k per year rate if that part goes through. It's just utter bullshit and compounds the problems of an already hosed up system.

BigDave posted:And here I was thinking about getting my MBA one day. That Works posted:MBA is a different animal, don't let this kinda stuff stop you. Seconding this, I'm going back to finish an MBA despite already having an MS. I got a sweet deal from my undergrad/grad school that let me finish the degree for only 2/3rd of the normal coursework. One thing I realized, 3 years after completing my program, was that I might have a technically focused business degree that gave me all sorts of insight into technology management, but I had very little demonstrable knowledge and exposure to the networking and general team-working opportunities that the MBA did. Another thing is that when I talked to my director about going back for an MBA, the dude was genuinely excited because we'd been talking about jumping up to management, but lacked opportunities to practice and development certain skills. The MBA provides a proven program where people can learn these skills. It's not a guarantee at all, but it's a good risk to take. As long as you aren't Joe Blogs in the call center thinking that an MBA from StateSchool$ will get you into the C suite overnight and you're willing to do some schmoozing and busy work, it's a benefit that can really take you places. It works the same way that professional certifications do- it's a baseline that says that not only can a person perform the task, but they've put the time and work in to fill a specific spot in an organization Immanentized fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Dec 4, 2017 |

The Tax Policy Center estimates that nationwide only about 80 family-owned small business and small farm estates will face any estate tax in 2017. Why is it so important to raise the ceiling on estate taxes when already a couple can pass on an estate of up to $11 million tax free? quote:Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he favors repealing the estate tax, which the Senate tax reform bill does not do, saying it "recognizes the people that are investing," The Des Moines Register reported Saturday.

I thought the repeal of the estate tax was one of the cornerstones of this train wreck? Unless by saying "the repeal is not part of the senate version" they just mean it still "exists"  just in the most gimped form and is limited to like $1M total.

Everyone knows the first million is the hardest, which confirms that people born to rich families are at a disadvantage vs. the expectations of their social class. The left screams constantly for welfare handouts given to people whose expectations for lifetime earning are extremely low; ie, extremely easy to achieve. Why won't they help Betsy's kids get over that initial hump so that they can fulfill their destinies as well?
