3. AND top of the line educations. When it comes to educating the children of the rich, they spare no expense.

While they spend hundreds of thousands on their children's private prep boarding schools, they still tell the public that their children can get by in poorly funded schools and/or charter schools. And people trust what the rich say, and are made to believe the rich have other people's best interests at heart.
It's a class war lie perpetrated by the rich for generations.

particularly in the South. Until then the rich only had schools for their kids and the rest of the public were on their own.

I guarantee you he was vaccinated for polio and all the other childhood diseases, because his parents weren't conspiracy theorist nutjobs. I have no doubt he has a scar from a smallpox vaccination, as well. Someone needs to ask him to bare his arms to point that out.
