I was amused today by the news report that several famous wealthy people have been charged with bribing (in a convoluted scheme) top colleges to get their children accepted on athletic scholarships, even though the kids haven't participated in the sports involved. What I don't understand is why bother? If you're rich enough to bribe your kid's way into a top college, couldn't you just pay their way? Oh, but wait, the bribes were evidently being processed through a fake charity, allowing the bribers to claim them as a tax deduction. Clever, except now their facing tax fraud charges.
