<p>"It’s always fun to read about the adults who admit that they are “politically ignorant” democrats, who want the government, by way of your tax dollar, to pay for everything, but want to work less and live in a state where they can actually KEEP more of their hard earned money! "</p>
<p>If you mean me, I’m glad your having fun. And I was referring to MY tax dollar, and how ambivalent I am about where it goes. I added the ignorant part because I thought I’d beat some people to it, who I knew would be quick to jump in and (try to) make me feel stupid. If the “fun” was meant as sarcasm, perhaps you can just say what you think with regard to higher-income students access to the UC’s. That’s the comment I was responding to.</p>
<p>My H and I are real new to this “high earnings” thing, my H 1st generation college and me second. Our parents literally catapulted our families out of poverty, and we catapulted ours into a situation we are struggling to understand. So think you all for what you contribute to my “edification”, but forgive ME if I take extreme views with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>To the OP, sorry if we’ve drifted but the original post was so well written, I can’t believe you didn’t anticipate it.</p>
