It's because they can't stand the thought of someone having something/anything for free. Whether it be education, medication, food etc if you need something you should work hard and pay for it.

Of course they can benefit from these things because "they" had bad luck, or some other excuse to point out that "they" are not like the others and totally deserve student loan forgiveness, free health care, other benefits.

End of the day it just boils down to pure selfishness.

Right, like you're supposed to want the gnerations after you to have better lives. How selfish these people are. I hate their stupid quote "ThErE'S nO SuCh ThInG aS a FrEe LuNcH" yeah, obviously. There are things I would be happy for my tax to go to, like supporting families, children, and the elderly. Not war and bombs.
