Are you (second person singular, not a collective noun including family or a spouse) a US taxpayer, indigo? That is the question you asked me. Why are you avoiding a perfectly simple question you felt was appropriate to ask me?

You have stated my answer is relevant to the discussion, presumably because you are attempting to paint my opinion on US treatment of post-secondary costs as irrelevant to the discussion on the basis of my not being an American taxpayer. I have an interest in seeing people in all societies achieve their potential, including Americans (several of whom I love, count as dear friends, or work with professionally), as is consistent with the objective of this forum.

Now, kindly answer your own question and stop bloviating. wink (By your communicated standard in this thread, my previous comment is inoffensive because the word was used technically correctly, and accompanied by a friendly emoji.)

What is to give light must endure burning.
