Sorry, I had a hard time reading the rest of this after laughing so hard at your first line.

In 1967, my father could not eat in some places. There were schools he could not attend. My mother was not allowed to hold some jobs, or go to some schools. There were places it was unthinkable, for my family to live in 1969.

Jews today don't even think about any of that stuff. Today, we are far more equal then we were 40 years ago.

And to my point. If when I turned 18, the government had given me 20K to live off of, and said I would get this for the rest of my life, today I would be living off of 20K a year, and not the 4X I make now.

If your solution is to somehow take from the rich, the poor will be worse off in 50 years. Not better.

Well, I'm sorry that you are unable to actually comprehend what you are reading. 

Nowhere did I say anything about social issues, this is entirely economical.  Bringing up your parents being discriminated against (and I'm not downing you for that because my family was in the same boat), makes absolutely no sense at all.  When I say that minimum wage has decreased in value, unless Jews have a different minimum wage or something, there is no reason to say anything about social issues that are not related to the economic issue.

I will agree that as time passes that Americans gain more social freedom, even though that has absolutely nothing to do with anything that has been said in this thread.

Well, I'm sorry that you are unable to actually comprehend how the world works.

Here is my economic opinion, and I will use an analogy so you understand.

When every human being in the US is born, they are given a set of tools to they can utilize to improve their lives economically. Those tools include the ability to go to any school they strive to go to. To go to any University they earn entrance into. To work any job they qualify for. To live anywhere they can afford to live.

All these tools are at that baby’s disposal over the course of his life. What he does with those tools should be of no concern to Government. His outcome based on the use or lack thereof, should be of no concern to government.

What government is for, is to make sure those set of tools are available for everyone. Today they are. 40 years ago, they weren’t. If you can’t see how this affects economic equality, I can’t help you.
