Injustice

My bank pays me less than 1% interest on my savings. The U.S. government has just given its blessing to student loans over 3% with a cap around 8%. These loans could yield profits to the tune of $185 billion over the next decade. Those profits are designed to offset tax breaks for the rich. Is this just? I think not. It is not just for me. It is not just for the students. It is anti-education and also prejudicial against people with little money who depend on savings to pay for life's needs while on a fixed income. Is this just? The U.S. capitalist system has been kidnapped by the 10% at the top of it at the expense of the 90% beneath. It is about time the voting population wakes up to this and makes significant changes in Washington.
