In reply to the discussion: Blanket student loan forgiveness is redistributing wealth upward [View all]iemanja
(57,775 posts)The argument is that Biden should unilaterally forgive student loans, absent congressional approval, absent tax increases on the wealthy. Advocates for blanket loan forgiveness know those tax cuts cannot be rolled back, yet they demand Biden cancel all student loans within the existing tax structure.
Your claim that my opposition to redistributing wealth upward comes from "a repuke spin machine" is not only insulting, it's patently false. You may not like the data, but it is factual. Your position insists that those with middle incomes pay for the privileged. That is an inegalitarian position that privileges those with higher incomes over median wage workers, which is not in keeping with Democratic principles.
That you find a position inconvenient doesn't make it false or "repuke talking points." Perhaps you should think of a rational response that takes in account the data?
