That's potonomics 101

Any questions?

Oh..and my degree has paid for itself in retirement...about 2500 extra a year forever...or until my expiration date

Q: Why did you return to work?

A: Because of potheads.

Hillary is going to raise taxes on the middle class.

psst, Obama raised taxes "to get the rich", but the rich got richer. Then Trump (a rich man) and most of Hillary's friends who are also rich are able to pay no taxes. Hillary could raise taxes to 90% ON INCOME and the rich will still be able to pay little because they just make changes to reduce their taxable INCOME where you depend on your W2 INCOME.

Think about that DUH!

Learn the difference between wealth and income. Stop letting Hillary and Democrats make a fool out of you.

I went back to work because I was offered a job based upon expertise and because retirement dollars don't keep up with lifestyle desires..and I found myself falling from upper middle class...to middle class ..to watching my life savings getting dipped into...

It is directly related to upcoming prop 64 enforcement

Prop 64 is the marijuana initiative on the ballot projected to pass.

Marijuana has negatively changed my community permanently

I am working for a state agency directly involved in it.

Pot dollars pay me now

froglipz, I run a business and instead of reinvesting and growing which would have resulted in hiring people instead I opted to cut back, I'm with you. I refuse to be a government slave, period.

Loving my free time with DH and friends. Since Democrats think they know so much let them work those part time jobs to make ends meet.

No, I'm not wrong. Many go on to get their masters and PHD,s which many fields require these degrees. We are not talking about decades ago We are talking about now.

Most corps will pay for it, as it retains terrific employees. My last employer paid for dozens every single year. Most are still with them.

No most don't these days. You are talking about companies decades ago

Nope. Many still do. My last 3 employers spent hundreds of thousands per year on it, and all of them still do. (That includes over 75 plants the 3 have in the USA)


Not many take advantage as it takes effort.

What kind of effort. Your employer either pays or not. And siting 3 employers doesn't make it a rampant thing...because many employers just don't offer it. I don't want to go back and forth on this. You know some companies who do this but most don't.
