   Robbing the Poor to Pay the Rich   
   Pity poor President Biden, who can’t even seem to get the redistribution    
   of wealth right.  His plan to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for    
   borrowers earning up to $125,000 per year is very possibly the single    
   biggest transfer from poor to rich in American history.   
      
   Somewhere, Bernie Sanders is weeping.   
      
   The average college graduate earns more than $1.2 million more over a    
   lifetime than his or her non-college peer.  The unemployment rate for    
   college graduates is 2.9 percent and hasn’t risen above five percent in    
   nearly two years, compared with an unemployment rate of 4.6 percent for    
   high school graduates.   
      
   Those income earners, however, will be helping to foot the bill for    
   their more affluent peers.  Researchers at the University of Chicago    
   determined that President Biden’s plan will shift an estimated $192    
   billion in earned income to the top 20 percent of wage earners.  Just    
   $29 billion would go to the bottom 20 percent.   
   The Federal Reserve estimates that across the income spectrum, President    
   Biden’s plan will lead to more than 31 percent of all borrowers    
   (approximately 12 million in total) having their entire student loan    
   debt eliminated; roughly $321 billion forgiven in an instant.
