@Grenade123 then the portion of the raise that goes in the bracket gets taxed a little more

nah, school should be there to teach you the basics, and later on a trade of choice in something thats valuable to society

Gender studies isn't valuable to society

You don't suddenly get taxed the higher percetage on the full amount

@Grenade123 I think there should be discussion on where and how much the brackets are but I don't believe in getting rid of them

You don't need a school to teach you anything really, it's for free on the internet.

School are there to teach how to think, not what to think.

exactly, but since children make poor decisions, in order to prevent a generation of stupids (on paper, cuz people are stupid in general)
You force them the basics by mandatory schooling

The problem with gender studies, and other such classes is that they're indoctrinating people into an ideology not the thrust of the ideas.

@Grenade123 there is also the issue of using brackets in determining welfare, which could be looked at

theres nothing to learn in gender studies, all it is is propaganda

That's not true.

Theres no trade you learn

And pondering things from a different angle is just general Philosophy

theres nothing Gender Studies teaches you

thats specific to gender studies

Trades aren't the only useful knowledge you can have.

any knowledge outside a trade can be done outside school

school should be there to teach you a trade, so you can find specialised work

No.

does it take into account cost of living in the given area? because i feel like even the poor with working jobs in say California are rich if you just look at some of their salaries

You can read books by philosophers that doesn't make you a philosopher.

@Grenade123 That is usually handled more by city taxing, and wages

you can read books on how to philosophise

You can read books, and great authors, that doesn't make you a writer.

so then the feds shouldn't be taxing people, more taxing the states.

@Grenade123 Someone choosing to live in an expensive area are using their wealth to do so though as well so that should be factored in

i mean, if they are too far removed to really know the cost of living, why tax everyone when 70k could mean you are rich in like Louisiana and poor in cali.

No, philosophies is a cohortative line of education, it's part of you must challenge arguments, and have yours be challenged.

@Grenade123 For sure a lot of taxing and spending should be moved to the states

yes, and how do you need a full college class for that?

Argumentation isn't a skill that emerges naturally.

you can write a book "The fundamentals of Philosophy" and sell it for 30 bucks

Sure it is

i think all that power should be moved down. cut some the state stuff, give it to towns, replace it with power from the feds

give that to the states

Argumentation is a skill you learn by argumenting

Having debates

@Awrini Being contrary isn't the same thing as argumentation.

@Grenade123 The same job in Louisiana typically pays more in Cali, but they can still move if they like

Debates aren't argumentation.

A person who learns "The fine skill of arguing" will not suddenly become a great debater

Debates require argumentation
