First of all, I have $7k in loans that would be forgiven. So that ain't it.

Second of all, yeah, I'm just one dude, that's how democracy works. If I can convince you that any use of government money to serve one group of people when there's others who need it much more is wrong, then we'll be two dudes.

Edit: oh, about this

Poor people take out student loans.

Overwhelmingly, no. Poor people don't go to college. They either don't get educated in high school to begin with, or they have family to support and can't spend 4 years not making an income, even if they could get enough loans to live off of (which is unlikely).

Middle class people get loans.
