The Oppression Olympics

[InquiringMind]

Okay, cool.


The civil rights movement was awesome because it fought against the restriction of a fundamental right.  I believe based on what you have said so far you would agree with this?

Between a bad snowstorm and restricting a fundamental right where would you put having a maximum wage on African Americans legislated morally speaking?

The civil rights movement was about legal rights.  All legal barriers for black people have been removed.  If there are cultural barriers that remain, then whether it's the government's responsibility to remove cultural barriers is a different discussion.  Laws that follow culture are usually successful, while laws that try to shape culture usually fail.  


I don't know where you're getting the maximum wage idea, because I never proposed such a thing.  

I do propose putting a maximum wage on CEO pay, at like 50 times average worker pay.  How's that for oppression?

I proposed the maximum wage in a hypothetical that I explicitly called a fictitious society in my second post directed towards you.

You even quoted the post, eagerly telling me that I ha proven your point when I presented my conclusion about how I felt the thought experiment related to your first definition of opression
