They mean exactly nothing to me. What has affected me are the tuition increases caused in at least some part by a decrease in public funding for the university system in which i am enrolled. That means a lot more to me than corporate profit increases.

This is where taking a longer range view benefits. Wouldn't you rather pay more for your tuition now so that you can keep more of your income over the course of a few decades? If you do a net present value of the two, you will find the cumulative life time tax savings to be worth far more.
