I wish I could have come to your defense on the previous article had I seen it.

“the real freeloaders are the financial institutions earning interest off of our bad fortune.” THIS. My university was a top 20 with an endowment in the multi-billions but it is still classified as a non-profit for tax reasons. Why should each student be force to pay what is essentially a tax so that big institutions can avoid contributing to society? If your non-profit purpose is to provide education, how can you turn around and make a 17 year old pay $50,000 a year?
