Today I was discriminated against.

[2Thick]

The top 10% of income earners pay more than 50% of the taxes and their votes count the same as those who pay no tax at all.

This means that there is not equal representation.

They pay more because they make more. They pay exactly the same as everyone else (relatively speaking).

That is some good logical deduction. Too bad intelligent people know to weed out the spurious variables. If you don't know what that means then I suggest you write your Congressman so he can ban ice cream.

LOL @ 2Thick

Re: Re: .

discrimination is discrimination, whether its against blacks or whites.
what if a white guy from a trashy trailor park in a poor family needed a scholarship due to his poverty and he was denied just on the fact that he was not a minority.

If he is poor enough then he qualifies for financial aid. If he is smart enough, he will quality for a scholarship.

2thick are you saying that all white people have it easy? boo fucking hoo this, if the majority of the country is white then the majority in poverty is also white, look at all the rural poor. I Bust my ass to go to college my parents are poor im poor and yet where is are help where is are group looking out for the best intrest of us where is all the specia; help and exceptions for me? theres the naacp and any number of other groups looking out for the intrest of other peoples, im not racist but revese racsim is still racsim.

These stats are very relevant. The senators represent the people in their respective states. This means that there is not equal representation.

the key phrase: the senators represent the PEOPLE in thier respective states.

blacks aren't people?


we need to get away from sticking people into groups or racism will never go away.

They pay more because they make more. They pay exactly the same as everyone else (relatively speaking).

Very well, I'll play your game.

Black senators - they win less because they run less.

They pay exactly the same as everyone else? Not only do they pay more in dollar amounts, but they also pay more percentage-wise. Hardly the same.

"They pay more because they make more" "They pay exactly the same" I'm impressed, 2Thick. You've never said two dunderheaded things in the same post before. Usually it takes 2 or 3 posts before the blatant contradiction emerges. Imagine that!

Finally, if you admit that they pay more, shouldn't they have more representation? I think Bill Gates' vote should count more than Harry the Hobo's vote since Bill Gates actually contributes to society.

What else do you want?

If you want to quote me then quote everything I said. I said "relatively speaking".

So, your argument is faulted.

i know exactly what it means, my only point is that statistics can be misleading.

In order to run for a seat, you have to be chosen by your party to be a candidate. Boom, discrimination!

Finally, if you admit that they pay more, shouldn't they have more representation? I think Bill Gates' vote should count more than Harry the Hobo's vote since Bill Gates actually contributes to society.

They pay exactly the same percentage wise. Therefore, they have the same amount of representation.
