Political Quotes

“As we know, in the Republican plan they take away what is now tuition tax relief. If someone is a graduate student, and I received a number of letters from Michigan State University graduate students in my district indicating that they are receiving right now about $15,000 in salary for teaching graduate courses, and that is in addition to some relief that they get by being given tuition, free tuition, in order to be able to go to school, the Republican plan would now tax that tuition that they are given as part of their salaries. And so my $15,000 graduate student that is working their way through school will add $1,000 to their tax bill. That is a huge tax cut, $1,000 on a $15,000 salary.”
