Sigh
()
This new correspondent believes that my mention of “taxpayers” in my letter of yesterday to WTOP reveals “the real reason” I applaud yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling against Biden’s student-loan forgiveness.
Mr. H__:
Correctly guessing that my annual income “is higher than average” – and, hence, that I’m a net taxpayer – you allege that my applause for yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling against Pres. Biden’s student-loan forgiveness “comes from a place of greed.” According to you, my “real reason for objecting to President Biden’s debt cancellation is [that I] want to keep as much money for [myself] and don’t give a damn about the people [I] teach.”
First, you are not and have never been a student of mine, so I’ll thank you to reserve the responsibility for assessing how much or little I care about my students to my students.
Second, if my only goal were to maximize my after-tax income, upon learning of yesterday’s Court ruling my reaction would have been very different from what it in fact was. A precedent of allowing the forgiveness of federal student-loan debt makes such borrowing more attractive. With more and larger federal student loans being taken out, the demand for what I supply – college teaching – would rise. My employer, George Mason University, would become flush with more money. As a result, my salary would rise.
In short, if I were as single-mindedly greedy for money as you suppose me to be, yesterday’s Court ruling would have caused me, not to rejoice, but to weep.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
