The rich and the recipients of government schemes. Fascism at its finest.
My point still stands though. There is no way on earth it costs a quarter mil for a bachelor's degree and multi commercial/instrument with a cfi. Not even remotely close. Anyone paying anywhere near that much is in fantasy land and needs to be cut off all forms of government assistance.
