It was never meant to be a needs based scholarship. They have Pell grants and shite for that.

Obamacare said I was affluent making $55k with a family of three and a stay-at-home mom.

Median household income for most of the state is less than $40k...

This. Plus merits based helps at least to some extent to insure that kids getting TOPS have some sort of demonstrated potential to succeed in college and not just waste a year of $$. Of course even then there is a percentage that will drop out but giving it to people who can't even establish basic merits based requirements is just throwing money away.

This. After paying taxes to support the less "affluent" there ain't much left.

in Louisiana, that's affluent
i'd imagine it's in the top 10% of median household income

In a state as poor as LA with hardly any tax base, that isn't surprising.
