On: Ending the Ivy League's Tax Dodge

[singleshot_]

A large part of what makes Massachusetts amazing is the fact so many people are so well educated. I wouldn’t really call Harvard a freeloader so much as a three hundred year old indispensable part of the community.

We aren't highly educated because of Harvard and MIT, which do not make up the most of our college educated citizens

[singleshot_ → laidoffamazon]

They don’t make up most of our educated citizens, but they do account for many of our most educated citizens.

Fwiw, wishing for the power to punish people for being highly educated is not a good look.

[laidoffamazon → singleshot_]

I don't understand this distinction. A PhD from UMass Amherst in CS is also "highly educated", as an example.

But I do think we should punish the cognitive elites from the ivory towers (aka not UMass Amherst) who look down on people like me and consider me to be an underhuman.
