With the help of my hard-working, middle-class parents - I put myself through college. I worked many years prior to college, saved up...and worked during co-op work semesters to continue funding myself. I didn't turn to someone and say, "I feel entitled...gimme more from the millions you've worked to earn."
Don't get me wrong - I think tuition these days is disproportionately and astronomically high and has crept beyond the reach of many. But imposing absurd "success taxes" on people who have worked their asses off (and/or invested many years in their own education) to reach a high level of income - isn't the solution.
Sorry, but she just struck me as another representative of the entitlement generation.

she was cornered into exclaiming that and clearly was not expecting the interview to swing that way. and she's not running for an office, she's not a politician and this isn't gotcha political journalism. she organized an event and she's not a professional talking head politician, and i'm not going to hold that against her.
you're free to have your opinion on it and i'm fine with that. i'm not fine with being told my thinking is backwards because i can see the benefits of free public higher ed.
and i paid for my college education, my parents/family did not pay for jack shit.
