Students who have to take out loans to go to school wind up paying more than rich people who just pay out of pocket up front.

Ultimately, it's a form of punishment for being low income and wanting higher education.

Correct?

I can’t afford an Audi R8 so I’d haven’t gone into debt to buy one. Who forced you to go to college? Who forced you to go into debt to pay for it? Why didn’t you learn a trade? Electricians, plumbers, carpenters and HVAC mechanics make great money and get paid during their apprenticeship.
