Yep they do. This is the very reason for out of state tuition. We all get that, except...
Let me remind you of your post, since you're too simple to figure this out. You state: ""When it comes to subsidies from state taxes, those should go to its state resident students.""
Translation: Taxpayer dollars should go to state residents of said school.
There's no misinterpreting that.
So I'm calling out YOUR ridiculous idea.
If the tax dollars go ONLY to students of the state (again this is YOUR proposal), then therefore those dollars must NOT go to out of state students.
Explain how taxpayer dollars can only go to in-state students and not to out of state students?
Since you're too stupid, or you're being obtuse, I'll answer for you. Your proposal, which all began with sports teams not being able to use taxpayer dollars, then morphed into you saying taxpayer dollars should go only to resident students - is both a) a stupid proposal, and b) impossible to make happen.
I gave examples.
- Buildings on campuses are built with a blend of taxpayer, alumni donated, and school generated dollars. If an out of state student attends classes in said building, that student is benefiting from state taxpayer dollars.
- Sidewalks on campuses are built with a blend of taxpayer, alumni donated, and school generated dollars. If an out of state student walks on those sidewalks, that student is benefiting from state taxpayer dollars.
- Stadiums on campuses are built with a blend of taxpayer, alumni donated, and school generated dollars. If an out of state student attends a game in the stadium, that student is benefiting from state taxpayer dollars.
- Libraries on campuses are built with a blend of taxpayer, alumni donated, and school generated dollars. If an out of state student studies in that library, that student is benefiting from state taxpayer dollars.
Your proposal - trying to limit taxpayer dollars to being spent only on in-state students - is impossible to achieve. It cannot be done. Out of state students will always experience some benefit of the taxpayer-funded buildings, staff, events, etc provided at a university.
Now, do you have any other brilliant ideas?
And here I thought you came to your senses and realized you didn't have a point. But no, you spend a couple days trying to form an argument that an out of state student PAYING MORE MONEY than an in state student, to use the same facilities and get the same education, is the one benefiting from state tax funds. You haven't successfully argued that and you should stop trying. You're obviously frustrated and angry with how this discussion has gone.
