I know this, because she brings it up to deny her privilege all the time.
"Oh yes, I went to public school, but I went on a scholarship, so that means I wasn't overprivileged or anything!"

And anyway aside from "old money" people who went to Public school etc did so because their parents were more succesful as they worked harder/were more intelligent.
Any suggestion that poeple who have more should be brought down to a lower level of wealth to balance things out is retarded, there will always be poorer people because they just don't have the capacity to do better with their lives, it's no one's fault but their own.

It clearly is retarded. I just think a little more compassion for people who aren't as lucky wouldn't go amiss in the world.

worked really hard and got a really good job, but then they got struck by lightning and became paralysed, so they couldn't work and had to go on DLA. Are they then a second-class citizen who isn't entitled to opinions?

why should i deny what my dad worked his arse off to achieve for his family? i'm extremely proud of him and reverse snobbery is no better than snobbery.

And I don't see anything wrong with that, what's the point in working and saving hard/inteligantly all your life if the goverment is just going to take it away from those you care about?
