Everyone should have equal access, wealthy, poor, whoever. College should be completely blind to your wealth.

It should be blind to your wealth. In practice though poor people:

Don't have access to pre-k education
Attend the worst public schools with no alternative
Don't have access to tutors, college prep classes, after school programs, counselors, etc
Do not have a parent that went to college themselves, education past high school is never even discussed as a possibility

For some reason though we've decided that the major issue with education in this country is that people who do get a degree have to pay it off themselves, even though a degree has never been more profitable.
