    Default Critical Rich Kid Theory

    By damn liberals are now wanting to infect our kids with a salacious new theory designed to divide this country- Critical Rich Kid Theory.

    This theory posits that kids born into rich families have an "advantage" over those who are not, and it ends up in systemic favoritism and advantage in their lives. They point to data showing rich kids tend to live longer, have higher incomes during their lives, have higher education levels, and are far less likely to end up in gangs, involved in drugs or other crimes. They say despite laws that deny any discrimination in the public sector, in reality, these kids are pre-disposed to having more successful outcomes than equally talented kids not born into rich families.

    As proof, they offer Gomer Bush and Trump as examples of how if you are born rich, even if you are pretty much a moron, you can still be "successful" in this society that makes such outcomes predicable.

    That is also the Critical Race Theory, just replace "rich kids" with white kids in general, and the statements and facts and data are similar vs black kids.

    So, what is the beef? Isn't it true?

    Alvin Lee, the stoner who got paid a watermelon after his gig at Woodstock.

    May I remind you, that under the last good GOP president, Ike Eisenhower, the highest income tax marginal rate was 91%. That he endorsed unions, that he warned about the military industrial complex, and that he spent about 20% of his budget on an infrastructure program- the Interstate Highways.

    and the Middle class prospered like never before.

    What if the kids grow up rich and black? Or poor and white?
    I do agree with the rich kid theory. I’ve seen rich kids with distinct advantages I didn’t have. I realized I had to work harder to get “rich” (which I did). At some time those rich kids had parents, grandparents or great grandparents that had to do what I did.
    That’s life. It can be a tough cycle to break out of, thankfully there are those like myself or a more extreme example, Ben Carson.

    Those who make the most money are the rich


    Why would paying taxes make them dead?

    It IS true.

    The Reichwingers do not want CRT taught because they don't want white kids to feel bad for being born with a huge advantage in our culture. They don't want anything done about it, either. Far better to pretend that everyone's exactly the same when they walk into their public schools. The corollary about wealth is similar. We don't want to tax the wealthy "too much" because they might get mad and leave and take all the jobs with them.

    Some of these ppl really believe this shit.
