    My lord...I am talking about mental AND physically handicapped people. You DO realize there is a difference right?

    You think only liberals drink and do drugs till their mind is gone? Has your head always been firmly planted up your backside?

    But military vets with horrible enjuries often find ways to still be productive contributing citizens

    For the truely, truely needy help is available

    But but they are small in number compared to the goldbricks sucking off the government teat

    Didn't read thread, OP is based on the most specious kind of politically-charged "survey study" pumped out hundreds of times a day by LW academia in service of the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex. They produce this horseshit by the ton so it can then be broadcast out as "science" through the Complex's LW media sewer pipe political outlets of disinformation such as NPR... and most of the rest of mass media. It rolls downhill to internet tributaries like this where it is rehashed and rehashed by paid shills of shareblue, media matters and other Soros and Soros-like propaganda groups. Go check out reddit politics for an absurd and obvious example of this type of paid shilling.

    There is one and only one point to it, the continued growth, empowerment and enrichment of the Complex as against the private sector that pays for it all. The Complex has a vested interest in keeping its poor dependents poor and dependent, so it's hypocritical horseshit also in addition to generally. It doesn't fool any thinking person, and even the Complex denizens know it's complete twaddle.

    Of course ANY complaint the taxpayer may have at being forced to fund the rotten Complex vote machine at the end of a gun barrel must be totally due to racism, sexism... blabla.

    The only true, materially large and impactful "hate group" in the United States is the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex and its tens of millions of greedy, lying minions, dependents and shills.

    Like those New York taxi drivers who paid $100K+ for a taxi licence in good faith, only to see them - after decades of work - rendered worthless by the Uber upstart (leading to apparently 5 suicides in the last 5 months) .

    Yep it's a great land of opportunity, but it does help to be lucky as well....

    Reading your story, I guess I don't see where his being white comes into play. Was the Navy only open to whites when your husband joined?

    Sure.

    But America has so much opportunity that being lucky just puts somene futher down the road

    However everyone can have a decent life if they just get their heads screwed on straight and do a few basic things

    Thats the exception, not the rule. That’s faulty logic.

    Yes.. just finished second grade where I learned responses like the one you just did are for people who can’t speak intelligently
    Did you conveniently leave out his opportunity to go down on the trading floor at a big wall street firm? I thought you would be able to realize that I was referring to his being a male and white. At that time the only women on the floor were secretaries and you didn’t see a person of color. He knows he would never have had that opportunity had he not been a white male.
    The navy got him out away from a toxic childhood.

    I underlined your example of a totally made up statistic so you can rarionaliZe your lack of humanity. Your description of the poor is bigotry at its lowest

    Any tax paid to a state you don't live in gets refunded if it's taken out at all.

    Setting up your payroll deductions properly takes care of that

    I didn't leave it out. But the story on turning his life around began by entering the Navy. Without a degree or other credentials he wouldn't have had that opportunity if someone didn't see something exceptional in him, not merely that he was a white male. I'm sure there are plenty of white males, in that position, who never were exceptional enough to be given that break.

    In short, this is a bad example of the point you are trying to make.

    And let men know that bearing children and raising families and being dependent is not as easy as it looks

    Yes that was the turning point that he was able to get away.
    And they did see something exceptional in him, no doubt And yes there were probably plenty of white males who did not get that break. But the reality was women and black people were not even considered for the possibility even if they were as extraordinary
    The point I am making is who was given the opportunity..only white males. Why is that a bad example?,

    If you honestly can't see why this was a bad example of white privilege, I direct you back to your own post, the bold text.

    No Little Mike you are missing the point and I will stress it one more time. Because he was white and male he was offered this opportunity. There were plenty of women and people of color who were just is extraordinary and were never given the opportunity. Thank goodness my husband doesn’t think like you because he is honest. He knows that he never would have been given the chance to go on the trading floor had he been female or of color Now thanks to different civil rights fights the trading floor is diverse
