40-100K has not been middle class in CA since the 80's... Sorry to say.
$100K gets you a nice car and an apartment in CA.
My first job out of college in '88 paid me $42.5K a year. I use to think that was a lot. All it bought me was a new car and 1/3 of an apartment in Brentwood..
What do you think $43K buys you today? I would image a 10 year old car (Pcars excluded) and a studio in Norwalk...

Also costing out schooling for a society is similar to other universal programs. As I stated, most of us pay taxes like crazy at an earlier age and only start receiving some services back as we grow older. How many years to do you pay taxes before you call a policeman, or call a fireman, or need help in a national disaster.
We will leave these calculations to the statisticians. Simple math just does not apply...
