You know how the great American dream use to be work hard, get an education, be honest, treat others as you would like to be treated and the American dream can be all yours? Remember that?
In light of recent events, i.e. the college admissions scandal, it would seem that's a load of bull.
Consider this. If you were lucky enough to be born into wealth you are entitled to the following:
An education where ever you want to go.
Quality health care.
Easy passage through the legal system if the long arm of the law finds you.
Excused from serving your country.
Good jobs and appointments to high places (maybe even the Supreme Court!).
This is just to name a few!
The good news is that with the latest incident receiving so much attention, maybe the public will start to be more selective in their elective choices. Let's face it, the democratic party has been far more sympathetic and responsive to this problem than republicans. Let's remember that next year.
