So you don't think it's parents that influence and "create" their children's actions and morals? You blame this on income level?

Income levels? No...Entitlement levels, absolutely. Plenty of rich people don't give their kids the idea that they are better than anyone else. This is a societal problem.

I agree feelings of entitlement is a societal problem. Although I disagree this article is about entitlement at all. I think it's about cold disregard for other human beings, specifically abuse of women.

I think you find feelings of entitlement, lack of ethics, morals, etc. at all income levels. The "entitlement" of receiving welfare, etc.

It was titled "what private schools create" and targeted Goldman, "future policy wonks" "lead(ers) of the country" - confusing as to what exactly you are complaining about. People in positions of power? Privilege? Wealth? are more likely to disrespect and abuse women?

Be confused then, I wrote it as is. The article speaks for itself, mind you the setting is right outside of D.C....People need to draw their own conclusions.
