Equity

[rightwinger]

America has been moving towards socialism , and will continue to do so if 'equity equates to equality' is the soundbyte for it

~S~

Equity means a society helps those members who need the most help

Equity does not mean tax cuts for Billionaires

 

[sparky]

The Illiterate Liberal Language Lords had given "equality" a bad reputation, so they decided to replace it by giving a new and illogical meaning to "equity."

despite being in two distinct places in the dictionary ~S~

Equity is Code

So why change the meaning of a word into 'code' ? ~S~

This is a redoux of the Community Reinvestment Act, where lenders were encouraged to make unsecured loans to people they knew couldn't afford them, with the feds underwriting their losses. No skin in the game for borrowers or lenders, with expected results; housing prices doubled, forfeitures everywhere, blight, and taxpayers on the hook again. There goes the 14th amendment, equal protection under the law.

Equity means the current regime decides what your rights are, on a case-by-case basis. Don't piss them off.

 

[B. Kidd]

Equity is Code for helping those who need help

It's code for penalizing the responsible in order to give a hand out to the irresponsible.

 

[JGalt]

It's code for penalizing the responsible in order to give a hand out to the irresponsible.

Equity is just "redistribution of wealth" by means of force. As Marx put it, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Nope. It's a license to steal.
Democrats never institute policies that help everyone.
They always take from one group and give to another.
Their entire agenda is pitting one group against another.

Equity means EQUAL OUTCOMES.

Why should someone who dropped out of high school in 11th grade, with a baby, be entitled to have the same standard od living as a college graduate who worked 10 years getting her career established before she had her first child?

Not necessarily
Our Society can never have equal outcomes. No society can.

What it can do is decide where to put its revenue.

Do you help the exceedingly wealthy or the poor and working class?
Equity

Grammar by Whatever

A permissive ("descriptive") dictionary is a contradiction in terms, what the ignorant media mistakenly call an "oxymoron." Postmodern idiots with degrees in English are put in charge of these reefer reference books. Losers wanting to be loved, they pander to poorly educated college graduates.

Our language no longer has standards. Anything goes, so this ilk of standard-bearers needs to go away.

 

[martybegan]

"Equity" is just another crazy Orwellian euphemism for STEALING.

It's Equality where someone gets to put their finger on the scale based on what they think would be equal.

Equity is something you put into and then equity comes later . Dems don’t want the “putting in” part, they only want the reward with no effort input

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

It's code for penalizing the responsible in order to give a hand out to the irresponsible.

Just Like Obamacare

Equity is code for socialism.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Equity is just "redistribution of wealth" by means of force. As Marx put it, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Language Changed to Create a Socialist Mindset

Marxists today collectivize the grammar, changing the slogan to "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs."

The chart to the left suggests that giving everyone the same level starting point doesn’t work because some people have innate traits that require you give them more of a boost. That, or you are comparing blacks to children.

The chart was displaying a basic point that not everyone is on a level playing field. If we apply that to what we know of American history and it's treatment of black people then we know that not everyone got the same level start.

Equity means EQUAL OUTCOMES.

Why should someone who dropped out of high school in 11th grade, with a baby, be entitled to have the same standard od living as a college graduate who worked 10 years getting her career established before she had her first child?

Because ensuring some basic level of social assistance helps to combat generational poverty and its better for society to have fewer citizens and communities stuck in cycles of poverty.

Libs don’t have the skill set to achieve equity so other standards must be lowered so they can slide in
