'Equity' is the buzzword of the new constitution trying to strangle the old one. It holds that government must treat Americans differently according to identity politics categories.
Keep your eye on the word “equity,” for it is going to be an important part of your life in the next four years. Not interested? That doesn’t matter; equity has an interest in you.
Still not concerned? If you are affected by the taxes, laws, and regulations passed and implemented by the legislative and executive branches of government, or by the court decisions handed down by the judicial one, then you will be affected.
Or if you are affected by the everyday interpretations of any laws and regulations made by the unelected and un-enumerated branch of government, the permanent bureaucracy (where most power now resides), then you will be affected by “equity.”
If you read the news or are written about by a pompous fourth estate that now sees itself as the stenographers of Big Government and technocratic administration, then you will be affected by ubiquitous “equity.” So, yes, all 330 million Americans are likely to see “equity” enter their lives.
Even if I have your attention now, you may be tempted to say, OK, fine, but isn’t equity just the same as equality, just more modern-sounding? No. Do not confuse the two. They are not even cousins; they are opposites, or better yet, sworn enemies.
Equality is the standard of our old Constitution, the one framed in 1787 and amended since then, most memorably in the Bill of Rights and the Reconstruction Amendments. It holds that government should see all people as having been created equal, and equally deserving of the law’s protection.
It is a standard we have not always upheld, but when we have officially deviated from it—as in with slavery or legal segregation—we have paid an awful price. Indeed, at those moments we fixed these great injustices, it was because men like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King came along and demanded enforcement of equality.
Equity is the buzzword of the new constitution trying to take the place of the old one. It holds that government must treat Americans differently according to what category the government has put us in. So equity literally holds that government must treat people un-equally.
Don’t believe me? You don’t want to trust a conservative like me to define a concept of the woke left? Completely understandable. So let’s instead listen to how Vice President Kamala Harris has described the difference between the two, as she did in a tweet on Nov. 1:
