She's had much more privilege in life than most.
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!"

maybe, but not everyone
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.

What about if someone
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?
