[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's the "I've got mine" argument. Or rather, "my children have mine". What do you propose for children whose choice of parents was less wise than your children's choice?[/quote]

Those kids are not left out in the cold.  I work with them.  They have lots of support and we make sure they get their FAFSA filled out when the time comes and get them over to NOVA to be tested there (yes, more tests, but those help them get placed in courses).  Yes, they haven't been dealt a great hand, but it's not the hand you're dealt with, it's what you make of it.  Some of them will do fine.  Yes, some won't.  But some rich kids don't do so great either.  Life is a struggle for many and the many who struggle deserve some reward.  And if someone feels good about being able to give their kid something (that they worked hard for), that's great.  I am hoping that some of the kids I work with have that chance someday because I know they will feel proud like the previous poster. There is nothing wrong with that.  Hard work should be rewarded.   I don't believe that poster wants bad things for others, but he doesn't want to be robbed of what he has worked for.  He didn't create that situation.  There is a real fear out there of falling out of the middle class.
