I realize that.

> You want your kids to attend Harvard, not because they're smart enough but because you can pay full price tuition? Well, it's going to cost rather a lot.

Why is that even an option? The point was that there is no tuition in Europe (at least in the countries I know). If your kid is unqualified, it is unqualified, you don't get to override that just because you have money.

Why is that even an option? Because Harvard likes money. (And Harvard is a private institution, not run by the government.)
