Your reply was a little passive aggressive but I'll respond amicably:

sure, it might be a little "capitalist" to have the idea of selling your life's work for start up capital but it's the same as any other industry - you get a mortgage for your home, you get a student loan for your college, you sell equity to fund your start up.

In all honesty, I don't see the issue with this, it will force the college loan office to be more competitive, at the moment it holds a monopoly, which is more capitalist? One "company" (because it IS a for profit organization) which controls every single loan, or multiple entities/individuals competing to give the best one?
