And we're not talking about "have nots". These are regular people who worked for decades, paying for you to go to school and all that cool stuff you got for free when you were a kid. That includes the food you still bitch about in the university they paid for.
Unless, of course, you are currently saving for retirement and paying back every nickel those people gave you for your education.
Are you doing that? If so, then you definitely have a point. If you aren't, you don't.

Um, but I'm not. Thats the difference.
The world I want to live in... is a socialist society where basic needs are provided, and anything extra is either donated/volunteered. FTR, I volunteered at a hospital for a few years in high school and I eat the bland food there via the meal stub given for x number of hours volunteered. It was fine. NOTE: I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. I also did meals on wheels, the food probably got worse, but I can say for sure thats better than I have ever eaten consistently in my life. Again, not complaining, cause I don't feel I am entitled to good food.
Also... not sure why you need to know, but yes I am saving for retirement (maxed IRA/401k and do some personal investing) and I did not take out a student loan. I also paid Canadian taxes ontop of USA taxes for a bit due to my student visa the past few years, for services I did not use. I did not complain about it, nor am I complaining about it now.
