MAGA wants SCOTUS to block $10K student loan forgiveness for low income people b/c its "unfair."

Okay, let's play that game and see where it takes us.

Black people paid taxes for pools schools & libraries they couldn’t use during Jim Crow (1865-1965)—$0 reparations

/1

Native people had 270M acres of their land stolen via Homestead Act (1862-1987)—$0 reparations

"But that's ancient history!"—MAGA

So? In 2023—Undoc immigrants pay taxes for welfare benefits they can’t use

Documented immigrants pay taxes for welfare benefits they can’t use

/2

"But they're not citizens."—MAGA

So? In 2023, returning citizens pay taxes for welfare benefits, federal education grants, section 8 housing, and federal and state job benefits they can’t use.

ZERO MAGA outrage at any of the above. But it gets even worse. For example.

/3

155 billionaire corps paid $0 tax for public benefits they DID use—no MAGA outrage

700 billionaires paid lowest tax rate of ANY group for public benefits they DID use—no MAGA outrage

Trump paid $0 taxes for public benefits he DID use—no MAGA outrage

But—total MAGA approval

/4

Though ~90% of student loan cancellation go to people earning under $75K—MAGA unanimously opposes it

But while only 15% billionaire tax cancellation went to people making under $75K—MAGA unanimously supported it

Spare me MAGA outrage. Vote MAGA OUT.

5/5
#CancelStudentDebtNOW

Addendum

MAGA opposes student loan forgiveness b/c it helps Black & brown students. 20 years after college, 95% of white students have paid off their debt & 95% of Black students still owe b/c Jim Crow still undermines Black students.
