"I'd have to say that the university systems in general are also supporting the rich. I knew a lot of kids whose parents bought them Mercedes, bmw's, lexus, $40k trucks, and harley's etc. tuition continues to go up because the rich continue to make and are willing to pay more money and the poor continue to borrow more which raises the price at an uncomfortable if not alarming rate. Students are getting into overwhelming debt and cannot support themselves post education. The rich it seems have enough money to got to college pay the asking amount with out worrying about debtors, go through school with out stressing about cash, food or heat have money to pay for nice looking projects and so on. The poor i fear, having the weight of a student loan on their shoulders have a much larger burden of pressure while perhaps not making as good of work not getting as good of jobs and having to pay interest on their loans, which can double or even triple the cost of the education.

The poor get jobs to pay for their education building systems for and educating the rich and live much differently. At times it seems to hint at a modern day serfdom. financial serfdom. we don't rent only apartments or buy houses and cars we rent the money from the rich to acquire the things that enable us to subsist.


The poor in our country are living better and education helps but the gap is getting bigger between the rich and poor. and i guess the question is what can be done."
