Chip Bok for June 21, 2024

The taxpayers of America have been suckered into King Biden’s student debt pay-off scam to buy votes. All Americans of every party who paid off their students loans, never took out a loan, or never went to college have had their money stolen and given to these deadbeats. We won’t forget this insult come Nov. 5.

Where did the welfare for the wealthy bill come from? I’m not rich! Where did the grant come from, I’m not (fill in the blank)? and so on….. Here’s a crazy idea: Why don’t the employers actually hire those graduates so they can pay off their student loans, instead of telling them they’re “ovequalified” so they can hire cheaper labor? Why don’t those graduates have options to refinance those loans with lower interests, or go bankrupt by showing hardship?

While Republicans prepare another trillion or so in tax cuts for billionaires and international corporations while slashing Social Security and SNAP benefits for the poor. Because “free stuff” is only for people who don’t need it.

The latest reports from the CBO prove Trump’s tax cuts stimulated the economy whereas Biden’s free money vote pandering has increased the Federal debt by multiples higher than original estimates.

It’s just another vote buying scheme by the cadaver Joe kakistocracy.

Punish the Dems in November at the polls. Every last one of them.

It makes a fellow proud to pay his taxes!

These people act as though, in forgiving those loans, they’re reaching into your pocket and increasing your taxes. Really?

You never went to college? Well, that was stupid of you, wasn’t it?

When you have no other ideas or agenda other than to gut the Federal Government as the only effective counterbalance to monied interests, you have to keep the middle and working classes looking down so they don’t realize their pockets are being picked by the wealthy and big business. This cartoon just reinforces that.

The top tax rate on the wealthy in the 50’s was upwards of 90% and it fueled the Eisenhower Highway System, the GI bill and America’s dominance on the world stage. Through efforts like this, and mostly racial boogymen, the tax rate on the wealthy and big business has been driven down so low, CEO’s secretaries pay a higher effective rate than they do.

We are led to believe we can’t “afford” things every advanced Democracy has like Universal Healthcare. Whites in particular believe the apocryphal story of the WIC recipient buying lobster with their 162 a month benefit instead of the real story of how Peter Thiel gamed the retirement system to shield FIVE BILLION dollars from taxes.

The Middle and Working classes have been played for chumps and suckers, looking at pennies, instead of dollars while they pay more for less so the wealthy don’t have to.

Where did the letter ‘H’ go from the word ‘where’? Did our little Bokkie forget how to spell?

I’m more concerned about subsidies to millionaire farmers, millionaire oil exes, and tax breaks to millionaires.

Why no outrage over the forgiven loans to businesses affected by Covid. Many members of Congress got the whole loan forgiven. The most a student loan could be forgiven was $10,000 to $20,000 and after they had paid in for many years and if they did not have a high income. Why no protest over that?

Bok. A would-be artist without a sane thought.

Remember when trade school was free in some professions? Now they’re as expensive as going to a 4ry school

Prior to Regan, 80% of college costs were taken care of by the government. It gave us the scientists, engineers, and doctors that made us the every of the world.

The average college graduate pays more in federal taxes very year of their working life than the average high school graduate. If that’s divided by the 4 years it takes to get a college education, and public schools were free, those additional taxes would pay for the cost of college, with a net gain for total income taxes paid. THE REST OF US WOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY MORE TAXES, IN FACT THE NET EFFECT WOULD BE A TAX PLUS. This doesn’t even consider that with the degree, the person is less likely to ever need unemployment or welfare, and that more students would complete high school if they could see it as the way to a good job. They would also be paying a larger amount in all other types of taxes, social security and Medicare.

The best investment we could make to keep America strong is to not just forgive all student loans but to make public higher education, trade schools, etc totally free, as long as the student is progressing. There is no better investment than to give our people every opportunity to be the best they can be. Yes, It’s good for them individually, but the country is made up of individuals, so it’s also good for the nation as a whole.

You realize that this is from a bill passed during the George W Bush administration, right?

Were’d? Looks like you never did regular school. Chipper didn’t do well in ESL

Evidently he didn’t go to elementary school, either.

How many MAGA morons got their PPP loans forgiven? Bok’s hypocrisy is really showing.

Republicans want you to pay up and give all all your taxes to rich republicans.

Of course, Trump would never do or even think of anything that would benefit anyone other than himself, but, hypothetically, if he did propose student loan forgiveness, Chip and the MAGA crowd would be the first to proclaim what a brilliant idea it is.

The student loan “crisis” is largely caused by the federal government getting into the student loan biz. Now that same entity shows up to provide relief for the problem of their own making. Yes, folks, our government is taking a page from the great Three Stooges – where Moe, Larry and Curly infest a home with mice, ants, etc. through the back door then show up at the front door as exterminators.

The budget is $4,000,000,000,000. Biden’s plan would cost $84,000,000,000. that’s 84/4000 or about 2% of the budget. 2 cents for every tax dollar spent. Would you stoop to pick up 2 pennies?

$2 trillion went to a few dozen zillionaires in 2017. I have a bigger problems with that.

Nope, that’s not how it works.

A tax payer.. paid for your elementary, assuming you went that high. It should NOT be necessary to go into major debt just to get enough education to get a decent job.

And missing the point, here, it’s not the loans per se, forgiven, so much as the INTEREST on those loans, not financed by taxpayers so much as the banks/lenders.

Who paid for college under the G.I. Bill? It is a similar situation here. The forgiveness is not blanket but is for people who help their communities.

“Hahaha! I’m Chip Bok and I don’t understand anything!”

~Chip Bok

the whole “go to college” thing is just one of hundreds of scams we have been subjected to.

The Trump thieves think all tax dollars should go to rich people and let the middle class pay for it.

Bok cannot produce a cartoon without LYING.

Turns out he’s sloppy in other ways, too.

Chip is evidently among those who think that school taxes should be paid only by those who have children in school. An amazing number of Americans seem not to realize that an educated public benefits everyone.

Except TrQmp who “loves the uneducated” because a proportionate number of them vote for him.

“Education is one thing no one can take away from you.” —Elin Nordegren

Education’s Purpose Is to Replace an Empty Mind with an Open One.-Malcolm Forbes

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” —Benjamin Franklin

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. … Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” —Martin Luther King Jr.

“The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” —John F. Kennedy

Your taxes go to a lot of things you don’t receive directly. For example, you paid my salary for the 32 years I served. (Thanks, by the way.)

Say this out loud for maximum effect: WHAT the FOX NEWS…

I’ve never understood why a single person household with NO CHILDREN has to pay any taxes having to do with schools…..been single all my adult life (and LOVIN’IT,I’d like to point out!) so why must I pay for YOUR kids to go to school?

2017 Trump – Repub tax bill provided corporate tax rate cuts which the CEOs used to buy back their stock.

Tax cuts given for companies to buy or lease private planes.

A special tax cut given to Ron Johnson’s donors.

$7 TRILLION added to debt and deficit. But the Trump – Repub plan if they win is more tax cuts for the wealthy and their plan is to cut Social Security and Medicare.

INVESTMENT in education pays benefits back to society as a whole. There is a very serious shortage of medical professionals. We need more STEM graduates of all kinds.

Alternate scene…middle class family gets their billionaire yacht bill

It’s obvious this guy didn’t go to college. He can’t spell.
