I'm all for student loan forgiveness and all that. I think education should be socialised for anyone till any level.

That being said, this meme is an example of false equivalency. Where is the money for student loan forgiveness coming from? From taxes. Taxes that these ppl (who also had to pay for student loans) have to pay. Hence, effectively, these guys paid their own loans off and are contributing to pay others' loans as well. That's their grime from what I understand.

Morally, I believe that they're wrong. I'm just pointing out the false equivalency generated here.
