Is that if you get the $20,000?

Either way state mileage may vary. It would be as a state income tax based on what that person is saying. That means in Mass it would be taxed at 5%.

Who said I had student loans?

Even if you don't, I was joking that you should be smart enough to know. It was a joke. If you walk way with 9500 after tax do you think you got 10k or 20k initially? And yes it depends on a few variables but it should be clear.

And my comment was an exaggeration on the over taxed middle and lower class population of the US.

Haha. Yep, now us tax payers get to pay the loans off.

If they would just tax the rich this wouldn’t be a problem.

That's a slippery slope but I agree to an extent. We shouldn't need to tax the rich differently, if we had a system that was somehow balanced.. There is no easy solution to all the issues in our economy, especially we can all agree on! I paid my loans, got a good job, get paid well and have more than most so I try not to complain.

Having $10,000 of debt (that you agreed to payback) be forgiven and having to pay tax, is being fucked? How fucking entitled can a person be?

Are they going to provide diapers for my loose stool?

Sure, but the cost of the diapers is going to be taxed to you as income

Pay the loans off as you agreed and you don't have to worry about being taxed for the credit

I won’t get taxed I’m not in those states. And also they were predatory loans most of which were probably signed under duress or falsehoods so just like any other contract they should be null and void.

Huh, I just made payments. Be careful when taking loans! I think they should require a short class when taking a loan that explains it, even just an hour or two as some college kids have no clue.. shit half adults dont.

And that’s the largest part of the problem. People don’t know. And once you turned 18 you can sign anything and it is binding most of the time.
