End the Free College for the Children of Congressional Representatives.

Created by M.L. on January 08, 2013

The children of congressional representatives all receive free college currently. This is morally, ethically, and societally wrong. If we are a country where "we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal," (Declaration of Independence) then we have failed. Just because someone's parent is a member of Congress, and makes almost $200,000 a year, shouldn't mean that they get to go to college for free. To put this in perspective a 4-year degree at a prestigious Ivy League University will cost less with housing than most of these representatives make in one year. Why is this a benefit to their children when they can actually afford to send their children to college unlike most people in America?
