>So giving everyone an A+ in a class is "equalizing the opportunities"? Nope, that's silly. >So taking the someone else's hard-earned money and giving it to someone who is likely going to squander it is "equalizing the opportunities"? Apparently that's the way you see a progressive taxation system; I certainly don't see it that way. >So giving someone extra credit just because of the color of their skin is "equalizing the opportunities"? It's not "just" because of the color of their skin. It's because people with certain skin colors tend to start life with a built-in disadvantage in our society. >That to me "does not compute."
