You don’t address the issue of low-income white people at all here. The assumption appears to be that “all” white people are wealthier than people of color. Of course, that’s a vast oversimplification. There are millions of us who cheer at the idea of investing in society as a whole. A critic might say it’s easy for people like me, who pay in very little, to cheer at higher taxes and better services, although it’s also true that when I did have more income I felt the same way. I have seen first-hand what a better-run society looks like, because I’m married to a citizen of the Netherlands. I want that for myself, my children and grandchildren … and for everybody else.
