Financial Aid = discrimination?

It’s sad that the middle class is against stuck with the financial burden of debt. The rich can afford to put their children through college without financial strain (most of the time) and the poor can simply apply for aid and end up getting a free ride.

I’m firmly against the idea of socialism so I don’t feel that financial aid should be given out to everyone on the sole condition of parental income. Scholarships make sense because you are working for your privileges in life. If you’re neither willing to work hard to get the necessary funds for your education or do something outstanding to receive funds from an outside source, then you really don’t deserve to be in college.

My parents are poor but that didn’t stop me from saving money to put myself through school. People choose to be poor. If you don’t want to end up living on welfare then work hard, simple as that.
