Why are leftoids who push for equity against it ?

Abraham Lincoln, as poor as it gets, became the President. He had to want to walk miles, to borrow books, and then return them. You don't think his "want to" payed more dividends ?. |

His "want to" would not have meant a thing if he had not been both white and a man.

BTW I have an uncle who smoked a pack a day but never got heart or lung disease. According to your logic this proves that smoking does not contribute to heart or lung disease.[This message has been edited by BingB (edited 09-11-2024).]

This is complete BS.
People born into wealthy families have opportunities that other people can not even dream about. And it is not just getting family assistance financially. The saying "Who you know is more important than what you know" is absolutely true. Connections can make or break a career.
I am not saying that wealthy people don't work hard for their success. I am saying that lots of people work hard and just never get the opportunities that the wealthy do.
The claim that the only reason some people fail is because they are lazy is not true.

Your statement is also not completely true, sure "rich kids" may be afforded extra opportunities, BUT - there have been a lot of people that made opportunities for themselves. Just to name some: Gates, Zuckerburg, Woz, anyone that started a store/restaurant/etc chain, etc, etc. Then there is all those YouTube "celebrities/influencers".
But let us not forget that there are many lazy people out there that expect things just be handed to them...[This message has been edited by Mickey_Moose (edited 09-11-2024).]

Based on what? 
The only kittens that Donald Trump has any interest in are of the two legged variety.
