This second video has Oliver going around the school asking whether
students want to sign his petition to pay their share of the national
debt, $47,000. This one doesn't go too well either, and their ideas of

He doesn't have a lot of luck, it seems that they are alright with the wealthy paying a higher percent in taxes but when it come to student who work hard for the high GPA then it is no fair to take grades that they worked hard for and give them to students that are not doing quite so well. Wait... That's what the federal government (including ours in NZ) are doing to higher earners. The Rich work hard for their money and a lot of the time they have started from nothing and worked their way up the ladder of wage brackets. They work hard and deserve their wages and so do University students who work hard for their high grades, neither of the should be redistributed because they have put in a lot of hard work, both on scene and behind the scenes, to earn the money or the grade they are achieving.
