So if I take 30% of your income by force, and give you back some of it, you would consider that free stuff?
If the return is greater than the 30% I gave up, I'd consider it a net gain.
For most people, a good education is worth more than 30% of their income. In your case, though, you're probably the only person I know that deserves a refund.
Well, most of tax payers money goes to paying off debt- so no, you get nowhere near 100% back. And even so- let's say someone stole my bike, I would want my bike back, and compensation for the trouble caused.
Oh yeah, those college degrees are so worth it.
