Far too many are, sadly... including the author, starting out with "They're not so smug now." Class envy and hating the rich are at the foundation of Marxism. We should not indulge that nonsense.
They're wealthy idiots, spending far too much on nameplates over substance, both in clothing and in academics. That is always going to lead to poor results in the end. Their "crimes" do not warrant long sentences, despite the desperation of the Hate the Rich crowd. Keeping the cash and tossing the kids out, plus some solid hours of picking up trash on the highway, should suffice (with someone making sure it is them, and not a purchased proxy doing the cleanup).
I’ll jump in here to make the comment.......
how much was paid out to whom to insure the girls got into the right kindergarten?
The practice likely did not begin with college entry
“Class envy and hating the rich are at the foundation of Marxism. We should not indulge that nonsense.”
I would guess that the majority of those enjoying this spectacle are happy to see the hypocrisy publicly embarrasingly exposed. These people who paid to have their unqualified kids take a spot from those who do qualify are the very same virtue-signalling hypocrites decrying “white privilege”. Just look at their instagram accounts. I hope they suffer severe consequences for their arrogance and typical Hollywood (and yes Marxist) philosophy: rules apply “to thee, but not to me”
I agree, but I think what troubles most FReeper types is the elitism, not the wealth. Then there's arrogant, shallow children they're raising.
Success and prosperity are gifts from God. Money without any class or grace is a very ugly thing.
