Sounds like Singer had a legit business, found out there was way more money to be made and went to the dark side. The fact that some of the cheaters wrote it off on their taxes is insulting.

Well, like I said before, from the stories I read, there was no "posing" for pictures.

This company had stock photos they used and photshopped faces to them.

I very well could be wrong, but that's the way I understand it as of now.

College might be a scam but it isn't worthless.

Maybe for rich kids but how do you expect people with less means to find jobs in companies that use college grades and a degree to even start the application process?

And you'll probably say, "I know someone that didn't go to college and makes six figures now." Good for them. Now how does their success compare to the hundreds of thousands that aren't so fortunate?

You know who else didn't go to college?

LeBron James. Tracy McGrady. Kobe Bryant.

I'm sensing ridiculously extreme sarcasm here, but in case you're not presenting it as such... let's not make the exception, the rule.

There's been a growing attempt in some circles to vilify education in general, often led by people who both have money and attended notable schools. But that's not something to get into here so I'm just going to leave it there.

It's a quote from The Office.

And the plot thickens. Apparently, Singer had admitted to helping over 800 families over a span of 25 years.

The income equality in this country is getting dangerously out of hand. If you have money you can pretty much coast through life, buying anything you want, not just material things but as this case proves, prestige, degrees and other influence . If you are a criminal and have more money you get off with a lesser sentence a lot more often. There is no justice for the poor. If you are rich you can buy your kids into college with no work. I'm not saying there aren't those who have worked their butt off for what they have, but there are just as many who are rich who did nothing, like people who lucked into it or inherited it.

This is the same thing with the Jenner kids.

I see the argument that the younger girls built their own design, clothing, perfume (whatever they have) empires and worked hard to get it so blah blah blah.

I mean, give me millions of dollars and the last name Jenner and I'm pretty sure I too can start a business that's successful. That's what people don't understand. They are already in. They don't have to do the hardest part which is have connections and a brand.
