• " mattty - well, it was aimed at your comment. aiming it at you would be an ad hominem attack and contrary to the rules of debate.
    but yeah, dont reduce subsidies to the middle classes. the middle classes are not som epriviliged elite. generallly they are conservative entrepenuerial types who place value on self sufficiency (yes, subsidies would seem to run cotrary to this).
    other than self employed tradesmen, it's the middle classes who are in the best position to generate "wealth" and employment through their setting up of new business vebtures - "capitalism".

    to be clear - lets NOT confuse these class categorisations with notions of accent, regional extraction, what boarding school one went to etc. those are defunct definitions of class.

    I broadly agree with what you're saying, but I stand by my point.

    Subsidising tuition is an inefficient way of fostering innovation in business - tax breaks for new businesses is a more direct way of achieving this goal.
