As a taxpayer I don't want my money going to any school except for public school

[stevenwelp]

$50B Harvard Endowment should disqualify them for our poor We The People money out of our pockets.

[Darthdon-kf]

How about you subsidize the American worker with less Tax! 🇺🇸

[LoveforAmerica]

There's NO reason any of these overpriced schools should get any of our money.
Especially to do this.

[davidmcwethy]

It's a private university why do they get federal funding??

[jamesbenson]

What is so special about HARVARD & why do they need so much money 💰

[dianedawson]

I don't want a single dime of my tax dollars to go to any PRIVATE university.

[sportzrunner]

Thank you🙏Hold on, but are they the only ones doing this?😊

[DonaldTillery-zorq]

Why do they federal funding to begin with? That’s ridiculous.

[MrFusion]

Ivory league colleges shouldn’t be government funded. HBCU’s need funding, community colleges need that funding, trade schools need that funding. Ridiculous.

The American tax payer shouldn’t be subsidizing any private college. Harvard has bigger things to worry about, like the fact that their students can’t even do 8th grade algebra 🤦‍♀️

[TheMiss_Karen]

I never got the luxury of going to college. And I certainly don’t want to pay for someone else to attend with my tax dollars!

[stevenforce-jl]

No more funding give the money to veterans and seniors !!!!

[Ittybitty-oy]

They wanna be so elite, and so prestigious then they should be on their own self supported, not having their hand on the government tit. Shut em down Mr president, we don’t need em.

[Basichomelife]

Immagine not listening to the supreme court but expecting a college to listen to you

[susanschmit]

America is not playing games anymore! Obey the laws or there will be consequences!

[leithanderson]

Why do we subsidize the oil and gas industry

[mikehiggins]

Why are we giving money in the first place not 1 penny any college.

[rockett]

Why are we giving Harvard our tax dollars when they have $50 billion in the bank and they get 1.2 billion a year from students. I thought our taxes were designed to help people in need.

[davidvillareal]

No more money to this or any University that doesn’t treat everyone equally and with respect let them fend for themselves they charge way too much anyway and don’t guarantee you will find work besides having to pay outrageous tuition to begin with it is appalling 👿🤬🤬🤬
