The whole point of education is that getting it will make you rich. the point I was making though is that statistically the people who get post-secondary educations are from rich families.
This is a leading reason why the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. The big question is if single-payer post-secondary makes sense and while Germany for example does have this... they vastly restrict what you can take. Liberal arts is basically not something you can take in germany.
>ask the corporations that are posting record profits in spite of this inflation
In a high inflation environment, the corporations will always post good profits. It's not the other way around where corporations create inflation, quite the opposite.
>wait i thought we were getting inflation that makes the million meaningless
Oh ya, print that much money and inflation would be insane; it would ultimately be meaningless but the point being illustrated is that even if we equaled the playing field, inequality would come right back.
