Yes, reading endlessly to my children gave them an advantage. Our focus on education gave them an advantage. My impaired daughter knows my Spanish than me. Liberals or others getting too stressed about that because they are too lazy to do the same? Too bad. Tax me with an "advantage-seeker privilege." After all, if Clinton is astonishingly elected as president, she intends to implement a white privilege tax, so why not.

If I had kids, then I would definitely read to them. Kids need to learn about their world around them. As for the other kids, I'm not their parents. Their parents have a responsibility like anybody else. We don't need our corrupt government telling us what's fair and what isn't. Left-wing control freaks can just move to some Third World country, for all I care.

I Googled it, and as far as I can tell, the idea that HRC has proposed a white privilege tax was a joke. A humorist decided to ask some people on the street about this fiction, and they responded as if it were an actual HRC plan.
However, if you can provide a link that shows that HRC seriously proposed it, I would really like to see that!
(And btw, I dislike HRC almost as much as I do Trump!)
P.S. Yes, she has talked about white privilege -- and I agree that there is definitely advantages to being white -- and especially to being white and middle or upper class .
Sorry, but even the thought of restricting some in order to equal outcomes for all is just goofy.
Well you don't just restrict, you encourage. You start with planting guilt and then make something wrong seem right. People should just kind of fall in line. Notice how he says parents should not constantly think of the inequity when they read bedtime stories to their kids, but they should still think about it sometimes. So, don't obsess, but just remember what you are doing to the other kids.

and notice it was a quip - he was not making a serious suggestion.
It's what philosophy professors do to amuse themselves when not wondering if trees falling in forests make noises if no-one is around to hear them
Of course it was not going anywhere. When Clinton said she was going to implement it if elected, the back lash was huge. Someone conducted interviews on the streets of people about what they thought about that tax. Of course non-whites thought it was a great idea and whites thought the idea was ridiculous. I cannot imagine it would not be challenged--taxed because of race? She said it once or twice, then dropped that racist idea. Perhaps she misspoke

I'm a Democrat and that is stupid and only a belief of the fringe left. If we lower the standard for everyone our civilization will become just another poor, corrupt country. In this day of cheap birth control this is zero excuse for bringing a child into the world that you can't provide even the most basic care for.
This is the kind of liberal non-sense that turned me away from the left many moons ago.
