Well, then...if you feel so strongly about that, even in the face of your own government asistance, then why not do the right thing and give back all the collective wealth you earned by virtue of the American taxpayer (that's me), and not just repay your student loans? Seems to me if you lament so much the fact that you had to rely on Uncle Sugar to make your fortune, you should give it all back and start over without his help. Otherwise, your rant is a distiction without a difference.
