- Rich people or people that know how to work the system want essays and ECs - Because they can game them.
- Poor people want essays and ECs because they have been convinced that it makes things "equitable" by the Rich.
- College AOs want essays and ECs because they can admit whoever they want and blame it on the essays/ECs.

It's a game.  And idiot taxpayers are funding all this!  The vast majority (almost 100%) of the US population will not see the insides of Harvard or any of the top 20 schools.  Yet, they pay no taxes and we are OK with that?  Why?

If the admission process is not transparent, why do we have to subsidize such a process?  [/quote]

For the millionth time, and continuing every time you post this bullshit:

You don't subsidize Harvard with your tax dollars any more than you subsidize any tax-exempt organization in the country, nor any more than you subsidize any person who gets a tax deduction.  By your (ill)logic, since you get to deduct your mortgage interest and your property taxes I as an individual should have a say in what color you paint your house.  In addition, what about the taxpayers who disagree with you?  Why is only your opinion and only your position as a taxpayer the only one that matters?

You do not understand basic civics.

Please stop.  Try different logic, or just complain you don't like it.  That's fine.  But your tax argument does not help your case AT ALL.[/quote]
