发帖数: 61690 | 1 31 House Republicans side with grad students on tuition tax
Even some Republicans who voted for the House tax bill are concerned about
the provision to tax graduate student tuition waivers.
After students across the country staged walkouts to protest the proposal
last week, 31 Republican House members -- who all voted for the bill to pass
-- have asked party leaders to leave it out of the final version.
"Repeal of the income exclusion for graduate students would subject
thousands of graduate students to a major tax increase at a time in their
lives when they lack the ability to pay," wrote the lawmakers in a letter
sent Thursday.
P
About 145,000 graduate students don't have to pay for tuition because their
college has waived the cost. Currently, the award is not taxed as income as
long as the student teaches or does research for the school. But a provision
in the House bill would change that, adding the amount of tuition to the
student's taxable income. |

change the tuition to zero instead of a wavier (btw, that means shfiting the
tax on to the school). It is hard for the congress to work around the 1.5
trillion ceiling. |

发帖数: 61690 | 3 参议院的版本就可以不给学费加税的同时，不超过1.5 trillion.很多地方，两院可以
work out，保证不超1.5 trillion.学费这点税，对他们来说是小意思了。

学费收税收不到多少钱，这是一开始就很明显的事情，为什么还要放进到众议院提案里
呢，这本身就比较奇怪。 |

分减税。

所以议员们都要争取进入那些powerful的委员会里做主席，这样可以加很多私货进去。

发帖数: 13752 | 8 同意。我是这样想的：学费收税这一条，如果有充分的讨论，放在阳光之下让所有的议
员都看到，那不管是共和党还是民主党议员，大多数人都不会同意这一条的。这一条实
在太过荒唐了。但这次税改搞得太急太快，乱糟糟之下，这一条真的过了，也还是可能
的。
最近学生的抗议很多，MIT, CMU, Berkeley和很多其它学校的学生都在搞。希望这能引
起比较大的注意。
