4. As a student tax cuts technically shouldn't appeal to you, as a student you can claim a decent portion fo your tuition as tax credits, in other words as a student generally tax cuts don't directly affect you because come that time of year, you can generally claim all you paid in taxes back.

Do I not get to choose what appeals to me and what doesn't?

Relaxe dude, I haven't perfected mind my mind control just yet, so for now...

Anyways I was just pointing out something that is generally a fact for university students, being that most pay little to nothing in income taxes so tax breaks may not be as benificial in comparison to other things. Am I not allowed to disagree with you? :)

I didn't mean it in any derogatory sense, and my point regarding tax cuts was more pointed towards my parents, who will be bearing the brunt of my tuition fees. I think a little more cash in the bank would help them substantially.

blah my new advice is to move to the real world and pay your own tuition, j/k...but in that case I can see why your parents might be interested in tax cuts, however you can transfer your school tax credits to your parents or spouse.

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

Nope, you have to apply them to your income first.

Either way, tax cuts create jobs! Jobs are good for university grads! Go tax cuts!
