No.

Is it your thought process that a 4.0 student when it is fre is less accomplished than a 4.0 who paid?

I'm not really surprised on your complete inability to pick up on blatant sarcasm. Everyone else did.



And I’m not surprised you missed out on my sarcasm.

Because those people aren't losing any money through taxes.

The admission standards are incredibly high now at UT. The university has 18 schools now in the top 10 nationally. You have to be ridiculously smart to get in. It used to be that you had to also be able to afford to pay as well as be academically eligible. UT is moving towards the Ivy's schools... if you are eligible to get in, you're in regardless of ability to pay. If you make less than 65 you pay nothing.

But UT is a public institution and every citizen of Texas should have tuition free education.

I am sure that many of tax dollars have gone to shore up this endowment in years past.

Your comment is idiotic because you think it okay for government institutions to dictate who can and can’t receive tuition free education based on income.

So you could get divorced, but stay together. “Single mom” making under 65k, free tuition. Remarry later.

The irony of that is it's possible because of a Texas Senator/VP/President

So you have to pay a toll to use a freeway because you make over 65k, yet everyone making less than 65k doesn’t pay the toll.

That’s not a hidden tax on you?

Just let me warn you, this place brings out the absolute most basic animalistic tendencies we have.

These inbred pig fricking swampbillies are not capable of coherent thought or reasoned debate.

But the women are loose and the men generous with beer and gumbo.( and some of them are morally ambiguous)


So Welcome, Baker here
