    Its seems as though the sentiment among the high middle class and up is:

    1. College is important to advance in our societal hierarchy. It is not absolutely necessary but generally you are rewarded for having a higher education in more prestegious institutions.

    2. People can afford college because they have been saving up generational wealth. Naturally, increasing costs of living shouldnt be an issue.

    3. College should be about merit not affirmative action. Giving spots for less fortunate makes us less competitive as a nation.

    If you cant see how the issues in these statements affect lower classes then i believe you are part of the problem.
