The Price of Privilege
[SultanKnish] A proposal has been making its way through the social justice sewer system to have white people pay a 5% privilege tax.That would be a lot cheaper than the current wealth redistribution built into the tax system. In 2004, black people made up 12% of the population and 20% of those who didn’t file taxes at all. It was estimated that 50.7% of African American households, 52% of Hispanic households and 37% of white households paid no income taxes. The numbers would likely have only gotten worse after the recession, which destroyed large numbers of African-American jobs, and the Obama years, which traded social welfare for economic progress, An otherwise equal tax system with a 5% white privilege tax would be an enormous improvement. How do you calculate the income losses for a white student shut out of college by affirmative action or a white business owner’s income losses due to preferential business programs aimed at minorities? Not to mention that incompetent with a degree is a lot more harmful than one without. Mind you, IMO, the real enemy are "cognitive elites", not their dupes. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2017-03-20 |
