it's sad that you think that was a rebuttal. You are so filled with hate it's disgusting

Question... we have the option to do away with Medicare tomorrow. Do you vote yes or no?

it's sad that you think that was a rebuttal

Yeah, how sad that I'd think that a study showing discrepancies in income mobility across generations by race would somehow refute your ignorant point that race doesn't play any part in income mobility.

Sure you didn't mean "Sad!" ?

One only need look at Medicaid and the sheer amount of fraud,waste, and abuse to imagine what a single payer healthcare system nationwide would look like

---

Less fraud, waste, and abuse in CMS than in private insurers per $ collected.

So much for your narrative.

Lot of stupid, poorly educated people in this country and Democrats make up the majority of them. That isn't news.

I don’t see an acceptable reason listed as to why we must accept that this societal bias exists but only mysteriously affects half of the affected demographic.

Well, if you don't see an acceptable reason then let's throw out the whole study.

Could be any number of factors - ingrained societal bias against women in general limiting the ceiling and raising the floor, unaccounted for confounders, the different rates of incarceration among the genders, etc.

Sad that you don't understand that the greatest factor in a person's economic mobility, especially across generations, is their own actions, or lack thereof.

Let me give an example. All four of my grand parents never finished school. In fact both of my grandfathers dropped out before they even got to high school.

Then both sets had 5 kids each As a result, my parents both grew up poor.

But my parents, as well as my aunts and uncles ALL finished high school and got good blue collar jobs.

My parents had 3 kids, and we didn't grow up poor we grew up very solidly blue collar middle class.

I just retired from the military where I rose to the rank of Colonel, my sister has a PhD and is an accountant and my brother has a Masters and is the VP of a fairly large food wholesaler.

We're all 3 in what I would consider the upper middle class at this point.

I fully expect that all of our children will do better then we are/will.

And guess what? There are lots and lots of black families that can tell yo similar stories, and there are lots and lots of white families who will never amount to anything.

It does't have anything to do with race except that we should ask "why do such a large percentage of black people choose not to do better?" NO ONE's skin color prevents them from succeeding in this country though, that is 1960's thinking.

You're going to have to provide some evidence of that.

And you would then have to convince me that I should care if a private company that I don't do business with tolerates waste, fraud , and abuse.

I eagerly anticipate your response, or lack thereof.
