You have brought in this concept of paying for grades. I don't know what that has to do with anything. Even Steve Doocy didn't bring up that.Really? You don't like the idea of creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds to succeed? Seems like a core American idea to me.

I've responded to other quips in the thread than the topic post-- that's where coattails and *not* paying for grades comes from. I'm saying it is not possible to do so, making Romney and Obama equally mortal men.
My dad came here an immigrant at 7 years old from Cuba. Worked his way up to become a millionaire before he passed. The opportunities ALREADY exist for kids to succeed. He took advantage of the public system, I've taken advantage of it-- I have no remorse for a single kid who does not do the same.
