Does anybody really think George W. Bush earned his way into Harvard and Yale? He didn’t even want to go there.

Does anybody really think Harvard has a $35 billion endowment because it’s “a really good school”?

Of course not. It is a status symbol for the ruling class. Anyone can tell you its undergraduate programs are above average at best and I, for one, have always looked upon a Harvard diploma above all others with skepticism - you might be smart, you might not.

I’m not sure how much intelligence it took this individual to make his money, but anyone with common sense would see that he is stripping his son of the ability to have the pride he takes in being “self-made”.

I grew up surrounded by kids like this. It’s a very sad subculture that churns out mediocre adults well placed to make signiicantly more money and continue the cycle. Chance that.
