That's true, but we're not limited to dichotomies of nepotism or slavery. I would put the current system (student loans) at indentured servitude, but that model still achieves the goal of created an educated, skilled public. Nepotism is a step backwards from this goal. It is only a solution to a symptom of the current means, without achieving the same ends.
