White People

This is really funny.  It's a blog that is aimed at helping minorities/foreigners understand white people.  They don't mention this, but they're really talking about rich, white liberals, but it's pretty funny anyways.  Check it out, it's funny to see how easily some of your friends will fit into this mold:

its funny
my girlfriend spent hours on the site the other day

delving deeper, you see that most of this stuff is that white liberals (hippies, hipsters) would like...then later on there is a split based on northerners and southerners.

sharky would have a blast with it.

there's no need to explain the rationale of rich white right wingers, its simply fiscal greed over civil issues, but the rich lefty not concerned with taxes...

that perplexes most people around the world. especially other rich white people.

my uncle is the rich white conservative with liberal social values, of course, he's will to flush his social values down the toilet to save 5% on his annual taxes.

Fallacious conclusion
Motive = "fiscal greed over civil issues"

You are saying wealthy conservatives have no love for their fellow man.  I assert they have equal or greater love for their fellow man.  

Their financial success, by virtue of the wealth is creates for others, greatly contributes to their fellow man.  

Consider, as just one example amongst many, former Dallas Mavericks owner Donald Carter.  Could he have contributed more by becoming a schoolteacher, or a nonprofit manager?  Or, did he contribute more to his fellow man by growing his company up from nothing, and in the process becoming a self-made millionaire?    

I suspect your heart is in the right place, yet I also suspect you've intellectually succumbed to  pervasive societal memes, and to an "educational" system which indoctrinates as much as it "educates."  I urge you to look with new eyes, and to question your assumptions.

Its fair to allege that I was speculating
I was trying to figure out, as best as possible, how he came to the conclusion that, for rich white conservatives:  "its simply fiscal greed over civil issues".  

If Jayslick wants to return and defend his reasoning, I would be interested to hear what he has to say.

In the meantime, how do you think he reached that conclusion?  Is there not a good chance he absorbed it from a pervasive, societal meme that rich conservatives are all about greed?  The Barack Messiah himself contributes to this meme in virtually every speech:  

"Exxon/Mobil made $12 Billion last quarter.  It's not going to be easy to get them to give up that profit."
Don't you think that, as he matriculated through the educational system, many of Jayslick's teachers and professors overtly and covertly alluded to "rich, greedy" corporations and Republicans? Was discredited communist propaganda like "I, Rigoberta Menchu" on Jayslick's honors English reading list?  Wouldn't that qualify as an instance of indoctrination inside our education system?

Wouldn't Jayslick benefit from questioning the assumptions he has made?

If you feel I was unfair, please give specifics.  I don't want to push incorrect assumptions or opinions upon anyone.  If I am offbase, I want to know why, so I can change and tweak my own incorrect opinion.

Indoctrination
It is "conservatives" who are indoctrinated.  Of course, there aren't many real conservatives out there.  Instead we get Reagan and Bush spending money like a drunken "tax-and-spend liberal" and figuring out more ways the government can stick it's nose up our asses.

The GOP only pretends to want small government.  They really want to severely limit regulation of corporate business activity while finding ways to control our personal lives.

How can you even say Halliburton without wanting to vomit?  Discredited?  That's the best word to describe the integrity of the GOP right now.

A working class hero is something to be.

Maybe some conservatives are indoctrinated.  However, I define conservatism as believing in small government.  Most people necessarily come to believe in small government via reasoning.   It's a lot easier to say, of every problem:  "the government should fix it."  It takes some thinking to say:  "Wait - if the government attempts to fix this it will be bad for all of us - including the people the government is trying to help."  One must do some reasoning to defend such an assertion.

Bush does not much believe in losing political good will via fighting over holding down spending.  I wish he did.

Reagan, in my understanding, did believe in holding down spending.  Reagan was hamstrung 1) by a Dem controlled Congress, and 2) by the necessity of building up U.S. Military power.  Since Reagan's build-up of U.S. Military power was partly a strategy to help destroy the U.S.S.R (b/c he knew an economically weaker U.S.S.R. would nevertheless attempt to match the American buildup of military might), it's difficult for me to criticize Reagan's spending as I criticize  Bush' spending.

On your third point:  "GOP only pretends to want small government", I mostly agree.  I shall not defend the danged GOP.

Re: Halliburton
Thank God Halliburton was there to provide services inside war zones.  Such services are more difficult and expensive to provide than services in Wichita Falls.  Halliburton, as all of large entities, is imperfect.  It's impossible there is not graft and corruption going on inside such a huge corporation, and inside such a massive endeavor as delivering services to foreign war zones.  However, Halliburton has done this nation a great service in Afghanistan and in Iraq.  They are demonized as a political strategy.  We don't have to buy into the political propaganda.  Maybe it will be proven that Halliburton is actually a witch.  So far, all I see are hysterical accusers carrying torches.  This is not Salem.

Ranting
Your first paragraph could be turned around and be just as plausible, maybe more so:

Most people come to believe in the power of good governance via reasoning.  It's a lot easier to say, of every problem: "the government should stay out of it".  It takes some thinking to say:  "Wait, if the government doesn't fix it, that problem might not get fixed at all and be bad for all of us, even the people who hope the government won't take away their unnatural business advantage."  

For unnatural business advantage above, just remember child labor, Lake Erie on fire, the Triangle Shirtwaist fire disaster, asbestos, cigarettes, segregated schools, etc.  

It's not really Halliburton that was evil.  They would be foolish not to take advantage of the incredible sweetheart deal the government setup for them - with coincidentally a dear friend in the White House.

You know who was a real conservative?  The elder Bush, #41.  This guy took the courageous step of raising taxes and balancing the budget, and probably deserves a large share of the credit for the 90s economic boom.  His party dumped him.  

I used to be a Republican, when I thought they cared about entrepreneurship and small businesses.  They lost me with Reagan, whose only real accomplishment was being popular.  Iran-Contra continues a long Republican tradition of flaunting the law in reaches for power.  Nixon, Reagan and Dubya are all guilty of it.  Ford and the elder Bush, the unpopular one-term guys, stand heads and shoulders above the others in my view for their integrity, and with Bush for his sensible diplomacy.

And it's only going to get worse.  All three remaining serious candidates have a loooooong laundry list of completely unrealistic spending proposals, and the Fed is the market's bitch.  Bernanke is George Miller to Greenspan's Arthur Burns.

A working class hero is something to be.

Nice job reversing the first paragraph.  We disagree vis a vis more plausible.

I've never said I'm against government regulation.  I'm against oppressive government regulation, which is what we have now in many, many areas.  Oppressive regulation hurts all of us.  It damages our nation.  

It's not like the Dem Congress is unwilling to investigate Bush and Halliburton!  So far, there's no "there" there.  To me, "HALLIBURTON!" is obvious political spin and propaganda.  To me, you are leading with your feelings on this issue, instead of with your head.  I could be wrong.  But: where is the evidence?  If the evidence comes in I will shout "CORRUPTION!" as loudly as anyone.

I disagree about Bush 41.  The Laffer Curve has proven itself to be valid:  the economic effect of lowering taxes outpaces the arithmetic effect of lowering taxes.  Raising taxes, rather than decreasing the deficit,  actually increases the deficit.  Bush 41 did not understand this fundamental tenet of "Voodoo Economics"!

I politely disagree with your assessment of Reagan, whom I believe to be amongst the handful of greatest ever U.S. Presidents.  

You appear to be wrong that GWB has flaunted the law.  Like the cries of "HALLIBURTON!", most or all of the accusations against GWB amount to calculated efforts to win votes for the Democratic Party in future elections.  

The Dems control both Senate and House.  They've launched literally hundreds of investigations of the Bush Administration.  What criminality have they found, so far?  None.  Zero.  Nada.  You'd think, for every 100 legitimate Congressional investigations launched, Congress could at least find 10 or 20 instances of wrongdoing.

As to your Bernanke crack:  heh.

Not looking to get into a big argument here
but I have no idea what you mean when you suggest that Donald Carter contributed more to his fellow man by owning the Mavs than by running a non-profit or becoming a teacher. Are the Mavs a charitable organization or something?

I was replying to Jayslick's assertion that rich white conservatives are obviously motivated by  "fiscal greed over civil issues".  

Donald Carter is a self-made millionaire.  I assert that his company - via the creation of wealth for it's employees and it's vendors, and via the providing of quality goods to it's customers - contributed more to society than Donald Carter could've contributed (had he become a teacher, or an administrator in a nonprofit).  

Adding an example:  the Dallas Mavericks.  First, when he owned the Mavs, both Donald Carter and the Dallas Mavericks organization were good-hearted, hard working charitable contributors inside the local community, the state, and the nation.  

However, had the Dallas Mavericks organization never contributed a dime to charity causes, they still would've made a solid contribution to the community, via creating wealth for their employees and their vendors, and via providing entertainment value, and even artistic inspiration(in an athletic sense) to the community.  Even without contributing a dime to charity, the Dallas Mavericks were and are a plus for the community.  In such a scenario, Donald Carter could've credibly argued his "greedy" desire for the Dallas Mavericks to make big profit was actually a humanitarian desire, as well as a capitalistic desire.

I guess I was trying to say this:  in a free ecomomic market, the creation of wealth helps everyone.  

Please do not construe my words as a repudiation of charitable giving.  There are always people in societies will can benefit from a helping hand.  Charitable giving can be a good thing.

but the analogy isn't valid
for the simple reason that you can turn it around exactly to compare Isaac Asimov and Joe Investmentbanker to draw a clearcut conclusion in opposition to yours.

The valid comparison here is between Sally Kindergartenteacher and Joe Investmentbanker. This is where moralizing and personal values come into play, of course, but for me the moral heft is all on one side of that comparison.

Your premise is that giving more money to the government equates to virtuous action.  I disagree.

I don't understand your Bill of Rights reference.

I reject your assertion that voting for GW Bush equates to being a greedy, unvirtuous sellout.

I reject your assertion that our civil liberties have been restricted(due to, I assume, NSA wiretapping of terror suspects).  

I reject what I take to be an assertion that NSA wiretapping is only a "guise", and does not actually protect us from terrorism.

I also reject the underlying premise that Islamic terrorism is not an actual and serious threat.  The war on terror will end when Jihadi culture is resoundingly discredited amongst Muslims. Until then, Jihadis will continuously try to kill enough of us to scare the rest of us into submission.

now it is I who has no idea what you are talking about.

I was talking about that rich white conservatives usually love and care about their fellow man; and their entrepreneurial wealth creation usually contributes more to their fellow man than they would've otherwise contributed if they had served: in the Peace Corps, then at a nonprofit, and then become schoolteachers at an inner city school, for instance.

I don't know what you are talking about. But I will read carefully, if you wish to explain.

All I'm saying
is that Don Carter is an atypical rich person, and thus not really a valid point to draw conclusions from -- there are many more investment bankers and high-powered lawyers who create nothing for society than there are highly successful entrepreneurs.

And you have to understand that I'm not denigrating the pursuit of wealth. It's perfect valid in its arena and it's more or less the central tenet of a capitalist economy.

The problem I have is when you try to convince me that this approach is somehow more morally pure and right than helping others directly. And Don Carter as an example does nothing to convince me, given how atypical he is of the rich.

I understand your point.  

IMO, when you are creating wealth, you are helping others just as surely as if you were bringing them a turkey for Christmas.

I hope you will reconsider your original statement that rich white Republicans are obviously acting out of greed.  The truth is they are ctontributing to society, and to their fellow man.  It generally requires virtuous action to create wealth(in the sense that one must act virtuously in order to produce at a high level).  IMO, the meme that wealthy people have usually somehow cheated, in order to create their wealth, is an exaggeration. That said, I see little virtue in those who were born wealthy, yet are poor stewards of their inherited wealth, and do not use it to create more wealth in an effective and outstanding fashion.

I also hope you will reconsider your original statement that rich liberals do not care how much tax they pay.  If rich liberals truly wanted to pay more to the government, they would voluntarily pay more taxes than they have to.  The IRS makes provision for exactly those kinds of contritubutions.  Like the gap between Al Gore's green rhetoric and Al Gore's private jet reality; there is a gap between rich liberal's rhetoric (pay-more-taxes-b/c-the-government-helps-the-people) and rich liberal's reality of minimizing their tax payments as much as the law allows.  Actions speak louder than words.  These are people who maybe mean well; yet the gap between words and actions reveal them as hypocrites.

Final response
Do you truly believe that Johnny Investmentbanker is a better and more selfless person than Sally Kindergartenteacher?

by a bebop a rebop on Mar 2, 2008 5:03 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

a bebop
The original assertion was that Johnny Investment Banker was automatically motivated by greed, and by little else.  It's the little else part I disagree with.

To your new question:  Yes.  I believe Johnny Investment Banker can easily be a better and more selfless person than Sally Kindergartenteacher.  

Who is acting more virtously?  Johnny Investment Banker might easily be acting more virtously(more productively, with more excellence and discipline).

Who is contributing more to society? Johnny Investment Banker might easily be contributing more to society - not merely b/c he might be funding a trust which literally pays Sally's salary, and not merely b/c he might literally have paid for the construction of Sally's classroom; but also b/c (among other contributions) Johnny is loaning money to start up the businesses which create jobs for the parent's of Sally's students.  

Sally Kindergartenteacher might be an extremely virtuous woman.  Yet she does not have a monopoly on virtue.  Johnny's motivation might be greed.  Yet his motivation might also be to use his skills as effectively as possible in his life.  His skills might be in investment banking.  From there, he might easily contribute more to society than Sally.

I want to know whether you think the average investment banker is a better person than the average schoolteacher, and which of the two you think is more motivated by greed, on average.

I do not consider schoolteaching to be a more virtuous activity than investment banking.  

I do consider schoolteaching to be a virtuous activity - just not a more virtuous activity.

I will guess that a higher percentage of investment bankers are more motivated by monetary greed than are schoolteachers.  However, that's only a guess, and I'm not certain it's a correct guess.

The monetary greed premise is misleading.  Our  definitions of greed likely are not the same.  Our beliefs about the significance of income, and about the significance of working hard to increase income, likely are not the same.

In your previous comment, you wrote:

I replied:

Mos Def is one of my favorite rappers, but honestly I'm pretty surprised to see him on this list.

Yes, he's been on Chapelle.  Yes, he's been on Hitchhikers/Italian Job/ Be Kind Rewind.

But honestly, how many white people like Mos Def?  Seems like Ludacris would be the more obvious choice.

P.S.  Mos Def is an incredible lyricist.  For any non hip-hop fans I would strongly recommend Black Star - Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star.  Those guys are great lyricists.
