>Your think that people who work hard all of their lives to provide for themselves and their children OWE their children a college education instead buying themselves the occasional new car or saving for their own retirement? Seriously?

I think that you have the wrong concept of "working hard" that you always use as divider between the rich and the poor, as it seems that you think it is easy to start working when the sun comes up to end the shift at sundown to earn 85 cents every 90 pound of oranges, for example. In my opinion working hard has nothing to do with salary as it should be regardless of the job you are doing, that does not mean that this workers should be rich, but they should be able to afford to buy a modest house and make ends meet without state assistance.
