You can't depict someone who went to an elite prep school free and then to Columbia and Harvard Law as deprived and overcoming that deprivation. I didn't go to any such school. I don't even know anyone personally who did, much less who went free. Neither I nor my family has ever received any aid for anything. And I never expect to.

Makes you wonder what he's complaining about -- if a man with no resources can get such a great education by merely applying himself, that sounds like a pretty good setup.

Both of my kids have performed well in school, yet we've managed to spend many thousands of dollars to pay for it. Never has either of my children received any financial aid (other than my son, who received military benefits, which we supplemented).

Seems like to me someone who has minimal resources has as much, or more, opportunity than middle class kids like mine. Yet, they want to take MY money to fund it. I don't get that.
