Blanket student loan forgiveness is redistributing wealth upward

8. In other words, make the middle income American subsidized the privileged

Redistribute wealth upward. That is what you are arguing. It is a patently unfair position that demands the education of the privileged be paid by those with less income. It is an unfair, anti-egalitarian position.

I'm fine with transitioning to a system that provides publicly funded--not free, because there is no such thing--education. But how that works in other countries is that rigorous entrance exams determine the minority that can attend publicly funded schools. Those countries also have tax rates around 50%, not for the rich but for average incomes. They also tend to pool their resources for nationally provided health insurance. They are fine systems, but they differ dramatically from our own.

So you can decide that you want that kind of system--and figure out how to make it law--but what you can't pretend is that you will do it without cost for the average workers. Taxing the rich won't cover it.
