From my reading he has admitted that. What he pointed out originally was that Wellesley during the time that Hillary went there was between $1,500 to $2,000. mj

Ones parents did not have to be in the top 1% in household income to attend attend Wellesley, which was your point that I challenged. If you find out what tuition was for those 4 years, post it. Ann Richards was right when she said George H. W. Bush was "born with a silver foot in his mouth". GWB also was born with a foot in his mouth. And that money, the silver spoon part, it seems to me, comes more from Barbara Bush and the Ellis family (but later converted to NCNB and then to Bank of America stock), as in JEB Bush's middle name. To criticize Hillary for having had "wealthy" parents is off-base, unless you know something else other than the rate of tuition inflation which everyone knows outpaced the CPI-U and CPI-W. Hugh Rodham was a tenant in the Merchandise Mart. The Kennedys made money, not all tenants did. If he "opened a fabric print plant building on the North Side," he probably also closed it or it was closed for him, unless he owned the building. "Silver spoon" was apparently accurate for GHW Bush. But your mixing of "silver spoon" and "where rich people send their daughters, even to this day" and the amount of Wellesley's "endowment" reveals bias.
