#3  Ahhh, self esteem gone rabid. My brother the prosecutor has beaten in court EVERY 'Ivy League' Law School graduate (60+) he has ever faced in both criminal and civil litigation and has fired more than a few for laziness and incompetence. One actually appealed his termination on the grounds that he graduated from Harvard Law and was fired by a lesser law school graduate with predictable rsults. Harvard Law now works for the DoJ in DC!

#2  Thus illustrating a key political law (it has a name, I just don't know it):

"Those who advocate central planning always, always envision themselves as the central planners."

The Ivy League grads expect to become apparatchiks and, in time, full-fledged members of the nomenklatura. They would never advocate for a system that would leave them outside of the power structure. Capitalism, in which anyone can move themselves up, is way too chancy and therefore must be pushed aside.

#1  Goff is, perhaps all unconsciously, communicating an idea that Ivy grads — preferably Ivy law school grads — are the people who are entitled to power.

As the thousands of students who took on thousands of dollars of debt found out when they graduated.
