If you're rich or even middle class and going for unpaid internships, you're doing it wrong. I was middle class and all my internships paid at least 10k thanks to a marketable major. Unpaid internships are a scam and if I ever see a kid, rich or poor, go for one I'm going to tell him/her that he/she is being stupid.

Also, the rich kids don't have to compete because their parents pulled strings and helped them out. Do you want people to suddenly stop helping their kids because other kids don't have the same opportunities? Extending this dumb argument, would you want people in the USA to lower their overall standard of living because people in Africa don't have the same opportunities? It's a ridiculous argument that has no basis in reality. Tell anyone that they need to hurt themselves to help society isn't going to work when it's at the detriment of their children and the futures they might have. A better solution is gradual change that slowly moves the education system away from one being run by money. Not this stupid "eat the rich!" attitude you got going on.
