WASHINGTON – Amid the growing outrage over an allegedly massive college admissions cheating scheme, many in Washington are likely glad to see a scandal where the epicenter is not located on Capitol Hill.
And they have been anxious to share in their constituents’ expressions of indignation in response to the scandal.
Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, have united in their condemnation of the members of the elite who were willing to pay top dollar, and do whatever it took, to get their progeny into whatever college their hearts desired.
Here are some examples of the ire and proposed remedies political figures have shared since the scandal broke:
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., introduced a bill Thursday to remove the tax break for donations to universities for families whose children plan to enroll.
«This is yet another example of how the tax code helps the wealthiest Americans get even further ahead,» Wyden said in a statement.
