Effective tax rate went down 1.5%. Made $10k more than last year and paid $3k less in tax.

I didn't vote for either. trump was unsuitable. Clinton was totally corrupted by Wall Street.

Bachelor's Degree and a Masters plus 44 years of combined military and civilian flying. I voted for Trump. I guess I need that PhD to be considered higher educated.

My wife is an MD and she also voted for Trump.

I’m the uneducated one with only a BS and I voted for him too.

So far in my 3 short years at Southwest, the overwhelming majority of the guys I’ve flown with were all Trump voters too, and we tend to not hire people without degrees.

I guess our degrees were invalidated or something.

All that education and nobody ever told you that single data points don’t mean much

Let me be even more blunt. Some of us have lived in socialism and have an idea of what it briefs and can tell you what it really does. Some of us are better in math, others are better in lesbian social justice. You can decide who screeches the loudest.

The mere fact that so many millennials have no clue about the realities of socialism and historical perspectives is downright scary. We are truly doomed to repeat historical mistakes because people don’t take time to learn it, or listen to those who lived it. The scariest part is that they think they’re the smartest people around and “know what’s best for everyone.”

But some people have to learn the hard way...

For now but not much longer. Most people don't want to send their kids to get educated on which bathroom the 277 different gender identities want to use. They will find somewhere that teaches math and science vs. GaGa for Gaga: Sex, Gender, and Identity (a real course offered).

Ah yes. Still afraid of the gays. Don't get too close, you might catch it.

Also, if you don't think men and women in college don't use each other's bathrooms, you've never been to college.

It certainly is their fault that they foster this behavior. And these people ain’t “kids.” They’re adults old enough to vote and shape our country’s direction.

If you need playdough, puppies, safe space, crayons and days off school JUST BECAUSE you didn’t get your way, you should be declared mentally incompetent, shipped off to a mental institution and lose your right to vote or own a gun... not have this nonsense encouraged by the so-called “higher education.”
