But hey, fuck the people who weren't lucky enough to get a college education because they couldn't afford it, they're just not meant to make more than $9/hr. Let them starve, let them work themselves to death like this woman, let them become homeless, they just weren't meant to survive, right?

Luck had nothing to do with my college education. By the age of 25 I had worked hard, sacrificed and saved up...to pay my own tuition, books and related costs. Alongside my studies I also worked through both the co-op work semesters.
By your logic - we should be rewarding everyone no matter what their station in life. So what incentive does that provide to those who invest in college/university and make wise career choices?
There will always be haves and have-nots - for one reason or another. Why should the penalty of financial responsibility fall on those of us who bettered ourselves through either education, aptitude or experience to pay a disproportionate wage to those who work the typically lower-wage positions?
