It's the nature of the society in which we live.

I disagree. I knew many kids on financial aid at Carnegie Mellon and similar schools. It's the priorities one sets for themselves to pay for private education for their children whether during the college and/or K-12 years.
And for those of you who haven't done a FAFSA lately, you'll be in for a surprise. The US Department of Education must think the middle class are millionaires!
