[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is exactly what I have been saying.

Hard working tax paying middle class should be rewarded not punished for the society and country to be healthy.

Implying that low-income families aren’t hardworking or taxpaying.[/quote]

I didn't say that, but middle class is surely getting punished.

Real middle class are getting financial aid.  You mean wealthy DCUM middle class who live in million dollar homes and choose not to save and yet demand their kids go to the most expensive schools.  The rest of us, who are real middle class live within our means, or under our means to save for state school.[/quote]

I think my family is real middle class. 4 kids, $110k combined income. DD got $0 in financial aid.[/quote]

That is middle class but having 4 kids is a choice.  Most of us stop at 2 so we can afford our kids needs.[/quote]

This is how low-income people handicap their kids. With each additional kid, the slices of the pie get smaller. I feel bad for my students when their parents keep having kids they can’t afford. [/quote]

Low income isn't the issue as they will get financial aid.  There has to be more to this like this is the first child, etc.

We stopped at one child.  We cannot afford a $90K school and we have saved since birth.  We live in a lower cost very small crummy house, rarely vacation (as in maybe every 5-6 years, not even a long weekend) and our big splurges are activities for our child.  They know we can pay for a state college and graduate school and that's it.[/quote]
