    What taxes? How much do Americans need to indebt themselves for for college until people like you stop trying to have a say in what’s being taught there instead of it being the job of the professors?

    Do you realize I got paid to do my degree in France and we also have sociology and everyone is fine with it

      Americans pay on average 24.5% of their income on tax, plus state taxes, CGT, estate tax, fuel tax, etc. All in all, Americans pay a little under $5 trillion per year in taxes. On top of this, the government is projected to borrow an additional $2 trillion this year alone to pay for the ballooning national expenditure.

      Someone is making a lot of money on the backs of taxpayers. Since it’s not going to healthcare, it bears some scrutiny.

        You think it maybe has something to do with the U.S. being not only the largest military, but larger than the next 20 or so militaries in the world? Possibly?

        Nah, must be those anthropology courses.

          No, it’s the evolution. Hear me out: Why do we need to teach kids about how life came to be when we could teach kids how to end life?

        And of course conservatives direct their scrutiny towards education. And not, you know, the military.

        There is no VAT in the US. Also, most Americans don’t pay an estate tax, as the estate has to be worth something like 4 million dollars before that kicks in.
