Affirmative action replaced with 'Affirmative Billionaires'
SCOTUS right-wingers pull up their bootstraps...
Whoda’ thunk right-wing Supreme Court rulings could look even more hypocritical?
The Court finished its term with a distinctly pull-up-your-bootstraps message. Affirmative action in higher education? Nope. Student loan forgiveness? Nope. After all, America is all about being a self-made success story, just ask Justice Clarence Thomas and his pals in the Horatio Alger Association.
Judging by the lives of right-wing Supreme Court justices like Thomas and Samuel Alito, being successful and living life to the fullest is a lot easier if you have a billionaire patron.
Remember kids, you must pay back your student loans . . . unless you happen to have a billionaire “friend” footing the bill like Thomas did for his grandnephew.
And that phony “web designer” case with the imaginary gay couple?
Clarence Thomas didn’t have to worry about that sort of thing when he married Ginni because his multi-millionaire pal paid for his wedding reception.
In short, you can have a leg up if you’re a Supreme Court justice.
If you’re a regular person, you’re on your own.
BUT REMEMBER THIS TRUTH ONLY HURTS THE PERSON TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT. BUT THEY MUST REMEMBER IF THY WERE NOT HANDLING THEIR BUSINESS, THESE POOR MEGA RICH WHITE DUDES MIGHT NOT SLEEP THROUGH THEIR PROBLEMS.
