Everyone is for higher taxes until it affects them personally of course. Berkeley is essentially an ivy league school and a guaranteed ticket to a upper/middle class life. Asking their students to pay more and help the government stay funded is too much to ask though.
- krastanov 9y agoYou are confusing college students and graduate students - their demographics are very different. This article is about graduate students for whom it is not uncommon to have done their college years in less expensive and less renowned universities. Grad students have fairly low salaries for their level of expertise (but there are other benefits to grad school). Most liberals will be happy with a reasonable tax hike that is used to help the country. This one is used to cut taxes for the rich - this is why people are unhappy.
