Maybe do some volunteer work with kids in inner city areas, trust me, you will be shocked at how little these people have. After that maybe you will realize how difficult it is for them to make a better lives for themselves. Night school costs money, that they don't have. Scholarships are extremely difficult to get, as is financial aid. Student loans are even harder, because if you don't have a good credit rating, forget it. One more thing, I find it funny that you are commenting on how muh taxes YOU pay, I seriously doubt that any of your mony is going to the government, seeing as how you are still too young to vote. A more accurate statement would be that your parents don't pay much.
Good point.

I had to be moved from foster parents to foster parents until I got a place at a school. This mean't (alongside an hour of crying each day) that I had to move every month for 5 months. That was just not fun, the current system is such a shambles.
