In your hypothetical world where the government gives no financial assistance to any students, then parental income doesn't matter and you asking whether it should be a factor is a moot question. You even asking the question presupposes that the government is giving some people financial assistance. Otherwise your question has zero point.
Let's try it this way. In the real world, where the government provides lower income students taxpayer-subsidized financial assistance, should income of the student's parents be relevant to determining whether to give that student assistance. Of course it should! The only position you can have if you disagree with this is that other taxpayers should pay for your child even if you have the means to do so yourself.
No. I think the adult child should pay his way through school no matter his parent's income and no matter the fact that the gov't hands out other peoples' money.
