Free tuition does absolutely nothing to help poor kids in practical terms but it does save middle class and rich parents a schtup load of money, if you want to help poor kids help poor kids, don't waste money helping the 75% middle and upper classes that go to college in order to do a piss poor job of helping the 25% of low income kids who will still get screwed by life anyway.
Free tuition is a gift to the middle and upper class, in a country that doesn't even pay health care that's immoral

Rich kids don't traditionally go to "state" schools. Free education would only be available through public institutions. Private schools would still be able to charge an arm and a leg, and rich people would still send their kids there. I mean, which would you rather have? A law degree from Harvard or from Weber State?
