Why wouldn’t someone like Huffman want “the best” for their offspring, no matter the “cost.”

Well, of course they would.

But this does point out the change in American culture. Europe has a true upper class. Europe has an aristocracy, even if the people usually don't have titles anymore. But the idea is an old one: "I come from a good family. I have wealth and connections. Of course my children will grow up and be Masters of the Universe. They deserve that because we are, after all, the best people."

America, on the other hand, is supposed to be a dynamic society. Plenty of people from rich families end up doing stupid stuff and descending into poverty. Plenty of poor people work hard and become extremely rich. It shouldn't matter who your father was. It matters what you do. You make your own life.

But rich people in America now what to bribe the system, and the system is only too happy to take the bribes. Businesses "help" the government and the government "helps" the businesses. And all the cronies are happy at the top of the world where they never have to be concerned with the Deplorable people.

So Rick Singer (presumably a Democratic Donor) set up a Charitable Foundation to launder quid pro quo money through. Wow... wherever did he get that idea??
