Discrimination On The Middle Class

If you're poor in this country you are able to get many benefits from our tax dollars. I truly believe some people who have come into Hard times deserved break, I also believe that people with disabilities deserve our help. So I am not against our tax dollars helping the poor. When I am against is the decision by our federal government that some people are worthy of our tax dollars and others are not. My example is quite simple, if you're an 18 year old young adult and you need help to go to school your federal support is directly tied into your parents earning power. If your parents are poor you will get more money, if your parents are middle-class you will receive a lot less. Four years later the poor child will have less loans to repay and middle class child is in debt up to his ears. Let's go further, if your parents who work hard and struggles and gets themselves in a position to become middle-class, you get punished by higher taxes and less financial aid. Additionally, you have to take your hard earned savings and pay more for for the same college, but if you sit on your butt and do absolutely nothing to further your your place in society you end up getting rewarded with more money more financially and you pay less taxes. So why is the middle class kid being punished? Are we not a nation that believes in equality? Why is middle class kid being discriminated against? As a middle-class tax payer I cannot get help, I worked hard, is it my fault if someone wants to sit on their butt and not help their kid? We should be helping all students equally and not be discriminating against the middle class or the rich. we all paid our fair share of monies towards education, so why shouldn't our nations students all receive equal support back?
