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

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

"But that's ancient history!"—MAGA

It’s really not, but there are plenty of other examples MAGA pretends to not notice.

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

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

"But they're not citizens."—MAGA

So? The Constitution doesn’t discriminate in rights. Meanwhile, in 2023, returning US 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…

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

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

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