I see that the bullshit statistics posted by lefties are now taken as absolute fact, as usual.
What leftists fail to comprehend is that income does not all come from one place. Leftists seem to think that there is a vat of annual income for the entire universe, and it is to be divvied up , and that's that. Because leftists are stupid and cannot fathom the concept of VALUE, they're doomed to this fallacy forever. Income comes from an array of sources, not just from a paycheck. The world of investments holds more income opportunities than a typical DUmmy could possibly imagine. I know this because every time the Forbes list comes out, one or more DUmmies believes that those numbers refer to annual paychecks. Yes, the DUmmies are really, actually that stupid.
In the actual world, we know that the 1% gets 90% of what is called "income" because their capital is larger and attracts more income. When faced with this fact, a typical DUmmy will erupt into normative statements like, "But they STOLE the wealth that they use to generate income!" or "They shouldn't have that much capital in the first place!" That's what DUmmies do: when they don't understand something, or when a basic fact of the universe strikes them as unjust, they switch from the positive to the normative. Inability to focus on what actually IS, by the way, is exactly why DUmmies generally cannot enter the 1%, despite their desperate desire to do so (yes, lurkers, your desire for wealth is obvious).
As for gender differences, I simply don't believe that (outside of the 0bama White House) wage differentials are a function of gender so much as they are a function of value. Because DUmmies insist that all outcomes be equal, they elevate the value of the work of a female to a male. In many cases, perhaps in most cases, this is probably plausible: I know many women who are not only as productive as a man, but are in fact far more productive, and are paid more. A lot more. But DUmmies ignore things like childbirth and other gender/society-based differences that imply some women may get paid less than a man. Until every woman is paid at least as much as every man, they won't shut up. Of course, they won't even start in the 0loser Admin, where women are paid less than men despite ALL of them being equally worthless.
As for race differences, we all know why those differentials exist on average. When every young black male feels like he has to be a professional athlete, a rapper, or a "pimp," you get pretty stark wage differentials. Sorry you don't like it, DUmmies, but there are some cultural differences at play here. Some people demand more of their lives than others. Because you are all losers and idiots, and because the only thing that truly matters is the affiliation of the person in the White House, this will continue. Don't blame us: you're the ones who wonder why Serena Williams isn't getting a ticker tape parade, and you're the ones who ignore eight Chicago homicides in ONE DAY to focus on the feelings of a black person who was merely annoyed by a police officer.
Your lives will improve when you demand more of yourselves. The differentials you whine about will disappear when you demand more of yourselves. We both know that won't happen, when it's so much easier to demand things of the government. Put more succinctly: **** you all, each of you, and die.
