NORTHERN VIRGINIA DAILY
— Equity versus equality – James R. Poplar III
(COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, according to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, if Whites, men, heterosexuals, conservatives, Republicans, married people, Protestants, German Americans, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time are more successful at doing something positive like passing examinations than those who are not the aforesaid, it is because of discrimination against those who are not the aforesaid. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 because of discrimination against those who were minorities, females, LGBTQers, liberals, moderates, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, RINOs, unmarried people, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and/or whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
