Taxing graduate tuition waivers

Congress is about to introduce the Trump tax cut bill. If passed, graduate student tuition waivers will now be considered taxable income. This either means that graduate students (many of which already live well below the poverty line) will need to pay thousands more per year in taxes or universities will need to raise their stipends to compensate. What are your thoughts?

that's fucking bullshit man

Monetary system of universities is fucked with or without this tax bill. Some more piss in an ocean of piss isn't going to matter.

>graduate student tuition waivers will now be considered taxable income
oh how nice, you don't have to pay taxes on money you earned. how about you grow the fuck up and pay like the rest of society who work for a living?

bait harder

>things I disagree with are bait
this is economic reality showing you the truth - your wages are dogshit, and are about to get worse, because nobody wants to pay for you to piddle around on some professor's pet project that will never leave the walls of a uni and contribute to the economy

Great. Grad students don't deserve tax money

Getting better

It'll be intriguing to watch how far you masochists can be pushed before you're forced to call it quits and your broken grant whoring system buckles. It's going be even more glorious when the long overdue recession hits and that cosmic scale student loan bubble bursts.

riddle me this - why do you need money involuntarily harvested from the public to support your academic faggotry? because nobody wanted it to begin with!
