Dude -- this is NOT about affirmative action, already. The only reason liberals get behind initiatives that seem to grant unmerited favor to the under-dog is because there ARE forces at work that (when tolerated for generations) DO create divisions of opportunity that CAN ONLY be shattered by creating artificial bridges of access.
No one is talking about banning success here. Quite the opposite. What I'm talking about is preventing the successful from denying the success of others. In baby-talk: buying a nice car is okay. buying a nice house is okay. buying a law that makes you exempt from having to do something other people (who can't buy laws) have to do is NOT okay.
