Also the first strategy of ISIS is to get all countries to hate their Muslim citizens in order to make them ripe for recruitment. Trump is playing right into their hands.

I am, but also everyone is whomever they want to be on the internet, so why talk about my personal experience, and why waste time characterizing my political convictions in a way I won’t agree with? The guy who wrote the article this blog post is about is an economics professor at Cornell; I assume his annual income…

Citing trump as an example of hard work when he was born with hundreds of millions and has a business “success” story that is below what he would have earned had he merely left his trust fund in an S & P index fund instead of playing a businessman character on his personal reality show is...well, whatever. I am sure…

Yes I am. I’m saying the most obvious bit of “luck” is being born a male. And after that it could be being born white. Then being born tall. Then being born athletic. Then being born smart. But mostly being born male, especially as it pertains to sports. Doesn’t matter if you’re the most dominant woman in your sport…

You are trying to be obtuse right? Height is the easiest and most obvious example, but it’s hardly the only one. Boykins is short. He’s also probably in the 99.999th percentile on various measures of reflexes, agility, hand-eye coordination, etc. He didn’t make it to the NBA on grit and hard-work alone.

Nah. I’m pretty well-off, but I know it’s partially because I was born with a sound mind in a healthy body to an intact white family in a suburb with good public schools. I’ve also worked my ass off, but it wouldn’t have benefited me as much if you change any of those lucky starting points.

I bet I make more money than you, and I know that some of it is because I was born into a family that could pay for my ivy league education.

OK, I’ll bite. And since your screen name is a fictional basketball coach, let’s do it in basketball terms. Tim Duncan works insanely hard at basketball and has for the majority of his life. Workouts, film, diet, sleep and other lifestyle, he did everything he could to maximize his talents. He worked hard, and you…

No.

This is dumb. OBVIOUSLY only the super intelligent & super deserving become rich, that’s how Donald Trump became rich and why we should obviously listen to everything he says.
