I don’t really care about it.

How would you feel if a portion of your future salary was used to help reduce student loan interest rates for others?

If someone earns a million dollars, do you think it's fair they contribute more to supporting education, and why?

Have you or someone you know been affected by student loan debt, and how might lower interest rates have changed things?

Is it right for society to require the wealthy to pay more in taxes to help students, considering the overall benefits of education?

Imagine you are wealthy; would you feel it's your responsibility to help lower loan rates for students, and what reasons might you have?

Should personal success lead to higher obligations to society, particularly in helping those with educational debt?

How might lowering student loan interest rates impact the economic future of young adults, and why should this concern us?

Colleges can be expensive, but making them completely free would increase taxes a little too much.

I worked my way through college with a degree in accounting. I graduated debt free. If you spend tens of thousands of dollars on a worthless degree, you don't deserve reduced interest rates or a debt waiver.

College should have no out of pocket cost and instead should be paid for with a portion of military spending

Someone else can also pay off their loans if they choose to.

Increase taxes for the rich and reduce interest rates for student loans, but all colleges don't necessarily have to be free because that may mean extremely high taxes that I have to pay

Student should be canceled. Doing such will help students use their income to live.

Forgive 100% of all Federal Student Loans and end the Federal Student Loan Program

No, but I think that taxes should be based on your annual income and how much you make. I also believe that costs for universities and colleges should be lowered.

Raise taxes on large corporations rather than an individual rich person.

Let the free market drive the cost down.
