Rich people with money is not the source of the problem. All rich people do not have a sense of entitlement and try to bribe their way in to things they want, just like not all poor people are petty thieves. This is a small number of people that tend to do things this way. The real problem is the corrupt people who are willing to accept a bribe. Without the willing participants sacrificing their own morals and ethics this situation would not be possible. The rich people involved would be forced to do things the right way was as most people do. The sense of entitlement is also caused by the corrupt individuals who again and again accept money and favors from a few rich people without consequence.

The "white collard advice" website is obviously a disgusting way to make money. However, it isn't illegal. This issue could be easily resolved by treating individual crimes the same accross the board regardless of social or economic status. I don't think this should be done by using sentencing standards for all crimes. All situations are different and judges should have the flexibility to make the punishment fit the crime. Judge's need to be able to make this determination without any influences and social status should not be a factor in their decision making.

What stood out to me is that it is no coincidence that government control and influence at Universities without oversite is the root cause of corruption. Government controls the intuitions, the flow of money and of course student loans. This creates a system that is not based on merit but, money and power. Big government equals big corruption.

I am not at all surprised people like this flip so easily. They have already demonstrated their willingness to do anything that is in their own best interest.

In this situation the people involved eventually got caught. Most of them have yet to be punished but, we can only hope that a reasonable judge will give them exacly what they deserve.
