[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all comes down to who benefits from the use of government force. If the government is reinforcing the power of white Christian men with at least some money, it's all good. If it's [b]eroding the authority and/or wealth of these people[/b], it's bad. [/quote]

The thing is, the bolded isn't true. No one is suggesting taking anything away from White Christian males. It is simply about having the playing field actually level. Since people like Donald Trump were born on third base and deride everyone else for being dumber or less hard working for their failures, it is about letting things be a true merirocracy. If you wanted that, you would be ok with the wealthy being able to leave 20 million dollars tax free and the rest being taxed heavily. But no, the GOP wants an oligarch class of permanent billionaires who buy and sell the government for their own purposes.[/quote]

I don't think you can argue that white Christian males have the same kind of authority they had 60 years ago. They are probably even wealthier now than they used to be though. [/quote]

I would argue that the US Senate and the US Supreme Court are over represented by religious fundementalists manifested by white christian males. Until that changes, their hold on our country will be disproportionate.[/quote]
