Rmoney's money wasn't in the swiss alps for the view or in the cayman isles for the sea air. It seems his tax returns were in the land of make believe though.

Please, explain to me how the wealthy are not taxed exactly the same as you? The lefties have promoted class warfare. That is all and you fell right into their little lie. If you want tax reform, then great, lets have that, but you use the exact same tax structure as they do, so I think it is you that doesn't get it. What I have a problem with is that we have the UW Board of Regents raising tuition every year, then turn around and promote more grants so students can afford the tuition. Hmm, maybe the underlying problem is the cost of tuition in the first place..so stop raising it.

ladulce- your state of mind is a major problem in this country. Poor people can go to school, they just need to work harder to pay for it. They can get loans. The hard working tax payers shouldnt have to work hard to put them through school because they wont work hard.

zdog, you have my utmost respect.

@jcommon, yes, if you have principles, you live by them, if you don't, you won't. Pretty simple. I could have lived off of state aid for 3 years of grad school, but didn't. Didn't apply, because I could work instead. The money was there, the food stamps were there for my taking and I never once thought it was an acceptable option. Using that money was never an option. But I guess when you live a principled life those are the choices you make.

Jcommon The only ones wanting to tax the already burdened are you RIGHTIES,,, They want the little guy taxed and the rich to ride free at the expense of the working class 47% How dumb are some people to continue to justify the wealthy CROOKS getting richer as the hard workers continue to fall. Tax them equaly based on income. People like you no longer amaze me, you just do not get it, nor will you see or hear the truth and God help you all. I bet when some of you wanted to continue your education it was fine to reap the programs available and now you seem to think that people who need the help are no worthy of it. Typical Right wingnuts...GoodAmerican well said

Advocating for money for yourself and receiving money because you are eligible are 2 different things. Ron Johnson is against these gov't programs, but your saying that if the programs are there he shouldn't use them? That is the same scenario where lefties always want to raise taxes, but they don't ever give extra when taxes are due.

Remember when millionair Sen. Ron Johnson said he was against gov. money when his company did in fact received gov loans? The rich seem to think only the rich should get FREE money.

Education is not a place where one should try to 'cut costs'. I would far prefer that one obtains an education through a grant than that he not obtain an education at all. A society full of uneducated people will not lead us into a brighter future.

Knowing too much has never been a problem, but, knowing too little has proven fatal time and time again.

These people have to be laughing all the way to the bank. They raise tuition, then ask for more state aid. Classic.

Sigma, you and I don't often agree, but we do on this one.

And how will this be paid for? Tax increases on the rest of us? Not sure how this process works, but we should not be providing aid to non-legal-resident students; if I am going to be taxed, I want it spent on legal Wisconsin residents. Just because they were eligible should never mean it is guaranteed. Perhaps the thresholds need to be reviewed and raised, depending on when income and asset requirements were last updated.

Why is there state aid in the first place? Is it cool to go to school on a wefare grant? Is that the norm now? And we wonder why this country and most the people in it are in debt and act as if its normal???
