Discussion:

Is this a fair argument and valid comparison? Why or why not?

[ZRH]

Well, technically that's a logical fallacy called equivocation, No true Scotsman... It's those same sort of idiotic tactics that make anti gun people so unbelievable.

Also, most higher level courses are graded on a curve, so the entire crappy argument they are using is flawed from the gate.

It saved my bacon in one particularly horrendous graduate level course. :D

GPA, pshaw. In high school redistribute hot girl friends and cool cars. ;)

Actually it isn't a bad analogy. Taxable income changes through various tax code provisions, government subsidies, etc.

"It's different man."

"How is it different?"

"It just is, because if it isn't I look like a hypocrite. So it is."

"Uh... OK."

Redistributing your tuition/debt based on career prospects would be effective without the bad equivocation.
