He completely lost me here.
>Of course, if the problem is just inequality, then that’s one case where I would say there’s all sorts of inequality, so why is that actually something that is so bad the government needs to do something about it? Again, it’s different if you have people starving to death versus not being happy that they’re getting paid 5 percent less than what they ought to be getting paid.
Okay so because there is inequality and some dimensions are worse than other, government shouldn’t do anything about anything.
And if you’re not a privileged elite male who was educated, that’s just too bad because you are not the only one. The government should just leave everyone alone, and if some people are discriminated against, then his study on incomes of black males is enough to refute any kind of inequality in the workplace (or anywhere else for that matter).
I’m trying to paraphrase what I understood. How does anyone, regardless of their political biases, respect this guy or his “intellect”? I know I sound harsh, but please enlighten me.
For the record, I’m socially liberal but fiscally conservative.
- civilian 8y agoLife is unfair. Although you may not know it, there's a good chance that you are not the equally favorite child of your parents. We are all given different talents, and it would be impossible for the government to level the playing field. I'm shorter than the average American man. Unfair!! I have a stutter. Unfair!! My brother runs faster than I do, Unfair! I waste time writing comments on internet forums. Unfair! The guvm'nt outta do something to prevent all this inequality!
