Just because it's American doesn't mean it's good. What about low-income people? How are they supposed to afford good education for their children and let them escape poverty? Private education makes poverty inheritable and perpetuates social differences.

The ways things are in this country was cemented into place by the founding fathers centuries ago. The wealthy stay wealthy and are afforded more opportunities than those less fortunate. It ain't ever going to change as long as those in power to make change also happen to be on the wealthier side of the fence. That's why congress continually vote themselves pay raises and lifetime benefits while also refusing to support raising the minimum wage.

That being said, if you work your ass off and always strive to improve your skill-sets, you can succeed at making at least a decent living.

As it stands people in poverty actually get financial aid and other advantages that most don't. Assisted living, Food Stamps, Welfare, and all of that is passed onto taxpayers also known as the 99%. If you want higher education then you earn that by applying for AP classes and striving at your schoolwork and working very hard to achieve a scholarship. If you don't you apply for financial aid and pay off said financial aid as people have done for years. The time of handouts and aiding others is ending, we are all the 98% that can't afford things. I paid for everything i've got in this world, and I was taught at a young age you get what you work for, whether that be hard work, grueling schoolwork load, people need to stop looking for others to help its time for people to help themselves. I'm kind of the only guy playing devils advocate here so i'll keep the thread rolling. Your welcome.

You were taught at a young age that you get what you work for, so you worked hard and it payed off. Good, that's what happens when you have hard working parents that instill that mentality in you early on. My parents did the same, I worked ****ty jobs for a couple of years to save up for university, paid for my education out of savings, and now I'm well off too. Great.

So what about the kids with a single parent working as a cashier at Walmart with multiple drug addictions and a hefty debt for whatever reason? The kid grew up with no parental support, probably has pooched social skills and little to no supportive friends, is probably jaded, cynical, and feels trapped in that world. Nobody has sat down with the kid to explain how to pursue stable employment, nobody taught him how to write a good resume, nobody told him about this option or that option. He never had any motivation to pay attention in class because he was more concerned with whether or not his mom would be conscious enough to make dinner when he got home.

It's a sob story but be real, there are **** tons of these kids out there. So what, are they SOL? Is it really so bad to look for ways to change the system to give kids like this an easier channel to higher education? Or should we just go "Here's an application to the University of Your Town, pick one of these classes, get a student loan, and go do it because it'll pay off in the long run buddy, WORKED FOR ME!" and if they don't listen to you then "**** you enjoy living in poverty *******"?
