You are not in favor of equal pay legislation.

You do not think women contribute equal work.

You are not in favor of paid maternity leave.

You do not think there is a gender pay gap.

IOW, you are in favor of equal pay in word only, not in action. Which means you are not in favor of equal pay.

bahbah is in favor of jailing OWS members and old women shooting unarmed teenage minorities, beyond that hard to tell what actual policies he is in favor of.

Do you think that public sector union pension funds, private sector pension funds, 401ks owning mutual fund shares might comprise a large portion of these institutions that own these mega banks?

This left wing narrative that robber barons own these big companies including the big banks is stupid and completely false.

Do you have any charts showing land ownership distribution?

I am 100% behind equal compensation for everyone.

I have no reason to believe that the average working woman produces less than the average working man.

I think every woman deserves the right to accept or deny potential future paid maternity leave.

I do believe there is still a gender pay gap, but I also believe that it is significantly smaller compared to 20 years ago. I also believe that the total compensation gap is very small if it exists at all.

If a total compensation gap exists at all we should do everything reasonable in our powers to end it. I can't think of anything reasonable to do to fix it off the top of my head, but if there is something we should do it.

Yo bahbah, the difference is that you wrote "you mess with the bull, you get the horns" accompanying a link to an article about an old white woman killing a (article's quote) "tiny brained" unarmed black teenager as part of a pro gun rights argument.

Gambol, we have literally spent over 10 hours discussing this and I think you know this isn't the whole story.

When is the last time you and me both posted in a thread that you didn't bring this up?
02-24-2015 , 04:39 PM
What's there to discuss? You posted a really racist story from a site that made up fake racist stories designed to fool racist idiots, then when you realized this wasn't stormfront tried and failed to walk it back and play it off like you hadn't read it.

Your racism is a fault of your upbringing and your own choices, not my posting.

We aren't going to turn another thread into a is bahbah racist conversation. If you want to discuss it further make a thread called "is bahbah racist?". We've had this conversation no less than 10 times- another one isn't going to change your opinion or my opinion.

How is nobody else getting sick of seeing this convo in every thread?

Too bad you got thrown out of chained for terrible and racist posting so there are no moderators anywhere you post to whine to.

I didn't get thrown out of chained for racist posting. I got one racist temp ban that nobody besides the mod has ever thought was racist and if you ask him I don't think he would say it is racist now. That mod is almost as bad as you at calling everything racist and going after people that they have personal or political disagreements with.

I was thrown out of chained for repeating my argument over and over again after I was faced with an argument over and over again.

Either way, this thread is not about me and we've had this conversation way too many times as well. You really should make a thread about how awful I am and only post about me in there.

Nah, you can deal with it whenever you post here.

Out of curiosity why do you do this?

Why do you post nonsense and racism all over politics and, now, politics unchained?

what makes som1 become a part of the 1%

If I make $250,000+ a year, does that qualify? or is it the super rich that are making multi-millions?

You could have gotten a good explanation of how percentages work in SMP, but unfortunately they lost their math guy a while back.

Figures found from a very superficial google are $50,000 salary to be top 1% earner and $500k in assets to be top 1% in wealth.

I can't look it up now, but $50k is not right. It's somewhere between $250k and $1M. I'd guess $375k.
