That doesn't quite apply here, because it seems pretty obvious the intent of these laws was to help out those less advantaged. Now those that have means have figured out a way to take away something from those less advantaged in order to enrich themselves even more. Financial aid is limited - every time a rich person gets aid a poor person doesn't. And even worse, this isn't even just trying to get admitted in the first place. If that were the situation, then it would be much more understandable as rich and poor alike both want the best education for their children. But now the rich don't have to pay full price for the education and take advantage of a program designed for those with less money? I get what they're doing is (almost certainly) legal and everybody wants to minimize their bill, but they are directly harming the people who actually need it in this case. The argument "poor people have an advantage" in receiving benefits designed solely for poor people is absurd - there shouldn't be competition between rich and poor here at all.
