[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'll bite... it's because it makes it obvious that getting into said school is not and is rarely based on merit.  So the fail-upwards spawn gets into the "highly selective" school because mom and dad funded a serenity park on the quad. Said spawn goes on to become senator because his/her parent's name carries a lot of weight in all the right circles; and those are just the more blatant types of pay to play...

Meanwhile the rest of our children are busting their butts, taking on summer jobs, volunteering, losing sleep over grades; watching mom and dad not take a vacation, in the hopes they get into that special school...

We know it's all a lie; there are genius children who never get a chance, because they don't have the resources.

Sadly, Senator Fail-Upwards will sponsor a bill criminalizing his fellow poorer citizens.

If only we could pull ourselves up with our bootstraps with a million dollar loan from mom and dad - think of all the casinos we could bankrupt...[/quote]
