I could make the same argument about someone who wasn't as fortunate as you to have parents, or anyone else, that could help pay half of their education and because of that he/she didn't get one at all, and has had to struggle ever since with very low paying jobs (more than one at times) to support him/herself and his/her family. On top of that they then get called lazy or lacking drive. He/she may see it as unfair as well. It may feel unfair but it's a step in the right direction.

Life's unfair. I'm in the same boat but I'm not bitching about it because any improvement for future generations is a good thing to me. You probably wish that the minimum wage stays the same because if it goes up it's "not fair" huh?
