Those of us who pay for those of you who whine about all of that... or that... or whatever.

I come from a struggling middle-class family. My parents have virtually no money to send me to college. I worked my ass off in high school and graduated top of my class. I got into Wellesley College with a full ride thanks to the generosity of the wealthy alumnae — the 1%. So excuse me if I don’t whine about how the wealthy screw me over. I am the American Dream.
