Schools like Harvard that receive public funding have 0 business looking at the race of the applicants.

I don’t give a :censored2: if their elitist bourgeois filth turns into china town. The chinks have a right to live in a color blind society.
Is Harvard a public university?

It receives tax dollars it can’t be bullying the slant eyed folk.

If you take a cent of government funded grants or anything you should not be allowed to discriminate. All colleges are fat and bloated off the backs of the proletariat, it’s why they are proponents of elitist bourgeois politics.

Why are you sounding like a socialist?

No, and it has the largest endowment of any university in the world, whether public or private.

It's not like they are receiving public funding for educational materials and campus improvements.

They receive money to conduct research and development, which serves the public, and allows our government to use their facilities and expertise to meet our ends. They are basically being paid for providing a service. Arguably, a service that only they may be able to provide, in many instances.

So you're kind of being misleading to people who don't know any better.

Shouldn’t discriminate public dollars. Quit being leeches.

I’ll leave Harvard alone when they leave my paycheck alone. Quit being welfare leeches.
Your income taxes are never dropping in any drastic or meaningful way - the way they allocate those taxes may change but that's about it.

It's unclear to me why some people have such a problem with their taxes being spent on things that benefit the public and our future, such as healthcare, education, and science/technology.

But you never hear these same people complain about the fact that national defense and the interest on the national debt accounts for 35% of all income tax revenue our government collects and subsequently spends. So if you paid $12,000 in federal tax last year, congrats on giving Uncle Sam $3,000 for the military and another $1,200 to China, Saudi Arabia, and our other various creditors for the national debt.

You basically bought a 50 cal machine gun to kill somebody with, and paid for an hour with a hooker for some Saudi Prince - I'd personally rather spend that $4,200 on university research into the litany of problems we're facing or universal medical care for all, but that's me.

Alas, research/science/technology barely accounts for 1% of your income tax money, and over half of that goes to the space program alone. Meaning only 1/2 a penny of every dollar you pay in taxes goes to places like Harvard and other laboratories and research facilities that may potentially make a breakthrough on diseases that kill us, or technological knowhow that could change our way live in the future, so don't be a drama queen.

You also spend about $22 out of every hundred for medical care, even though not a single nickel of that goes toward your own healthcare costs - the bulk of it goes to pay for Medicare and Medicaid, at an inflated premium over what this care should cost, of course. The rest of this 22% goes to food safety, disease control, and public health services. This 22% is in addition to the dedicated Medicare taxes we already have withheld from our paycheck.

Aren't you glad we don't have universal healthcare, even though we clearly pay enough to implement it already, if only we took the insurance companies out of the mix and nationalized medicine?

I know what we have going on now makes ZERO sense to me - pay hugely inflated medical costs because of the fact that no indigent person can be refused care and thus we all pick up the extra costs, instead of making healthcare universal, thereby lowering the cost for all by dropping the middle man and taking the profit motive out of life or death decisions.

How much more do you think that would cost us total? Not too much, if anything at all. But they'd rather sell you a bull:censored2: story about horrific care, months long wait times to see the doctor, and astronomical costs. Keep believing that story, even as every other developed country in the world makes free medical work, and it consistently ranks among their most cherished and satisfying government programs worldwide.
