For an example of “my” tax money, I don’t want to subsidize religion by giving them a bunch of tax breaks. But we elect politicians who decide on how to spend that money for “the greater good”. That won’t often align with people’s personal values. In the case of this student loan forgiveness, it’s to help ease the student debt bubble that’s occurring on a large scale. For my religion example, it’s to help promote organizations that a lot of people find community in while providing some humanitarian services on the side.

Borlorg posted:I agree, federal gov't needs to stay out of subsidizing religion as well. And I would argue that any government "for the people and by the people" actually should cater to and align with the collective personal values of the people who created it. I don't like the student loan debt bubble either, but I disagree that this is the way to resolve it. While you might not be the only person with this point of view, you absolutely are in the minority with your opinion. In case you're unaware about this poll in June, 55% of all adults support 10k in loan forgiveness. So, no, your voice will not be heard in November because it'll be drowned out by the majority of people who support this.
