That's a fair question. When many people make the correlation!=causation argument, they do so to express skepticism, often without any evidence or positive contribution to the discussion. However, in this case, I think the argument is warranted because there is a large body of evidence that suggests wealth does not directly affect whether kids go to college. I linked to one interesting study, but I can link to more if you'd like. In any case, I hoped my comment and link added value to the discussion. If not, I'd be happy to remove them.
