These situations arent comparable. Youre asking people who have already paid off their debt to pay more to pay off the debt of other people. (I know that the claim is that itll all be paid for by the super rich, but even if that math checks out money is fungible).

Im not necessarily opposed to reducing student debt, but eliminating it entirely is a huge moral hazard.

Moral hazard? That's a stretch. I realize you're opposed to the most progressive universal programs but I understand that generally these programs are paid for by a shared tax burden, yes. If someone doesn't plan on having kids or going to college, their taxes still go to public schools. Is that a moral hazard? Where is the line?

Besides, there are ways of paying for this that dont involve raising taxes on most people. I'm not 100% on this, but because it's part of Warren's education plan, this may be covered under her wealth tax. But if that's still not acceptable there's also deficit spending, which we don't seem to have a problem with if it's for tax breaks or wars.
