Gradually this has become a way to keep the smart, but non-affluent out of the elite loop. Over time college is becoming more and more about how much money you have rather than whether or not you can master a tough academic curriculum. And, since good jobs generally require a college degree to even grant an interview, it keeps the up and comers from coming up through the merit ranks and we are back at being born “royal” or not. The elite protect their progeny from competition. Cream rises, but scum floats.
And I have nothing against rich people who have worked for what they have — But most of these rich kids don’t know the meaning of the word work. Everything they have was given to them. They also tend to be liberal sissy’s, forever moaning about the evil corporations, yet never thinking of sending that unlimited credit card back to their parents.
I just wonder how on earth this country is going to continue to make it if in fact this continues. There is no way that this country will be able to function if and when we don’t keep getting the smart and intelligent out of the gutter (if they are born there) and get them going? Is America going to end up losing our smartest to other countries, when it used to be that other countries came here for opportunity to move up?
