It's almost like the tax laws need to change

Nope.
Honestly, and this is going to sound like a knee jerk liberal reaction, but if you’re in the 1%, it almost certainly doesn’t matter what you paid. It’s probably not enough.
That said, it’s possible some fraction of the 1% paid in at a higher rate than what’s usual for their income level. That’s a start. But if their effective rates are lower than mine, it’s by default ‘not enough.’

An interesting map. The Midwest is higher than I thought and the Deep South is lower:

It also brings home the fact that if Latinos ever start voting TX is going to be blue.

Or the race of B1G v SEC defensive backs.
The center of mass of bumblef-cks in this country is significantly farther north than I would have expected: KY-IN-OH-WV, not LA-MS-AL-FL. From that map PA is significantly more stupid than GA.

Kepler, it's clear from your posts that you're a bright guy. If you apply yourself, I could even see you supporting yourself eventually as... say, assistant manager at a Best Buy. But man, you've got to get out in the real world. You've got the blinders of a kid with no experience in life who thinks he's king of the world because he just got into some second-rate fake ivy like Cornell. Different people have differing goals.

It does come off as a bit elitist given how much college costs to attend and the calculated risk involved with making it worthwhile. That's part of why it needs to be free or significantly more affordable because access wouldn't be as big of a problem anymore and it's probably the best way to open the minds of younger people in red states.

First two years should be free at all Tech and Community Colleges. (4) year schools can adjust accordingly. Simple Solution.

IDK what the stats are on people attending community college but I assume most of them don't have dorms or people living on campus? That's probably one of the biggest reasons to go to a 4 year University and you're not exactly opening the minds of red state kids if they're just attending community college and going back home to their MAGA parents.

Well, then open up (4) year to free first two yeas as well but not the dorm.

It's a good start, at any rate. I would say: make all state colleges and universities free. Private colleges can do whatever they want. People are still going to be wiling to pay $250k instead of nothing to send Muffy to Harvard. But to Oral Roberts? Prolly not.

I'm open to negotiation. What I don't want is nothing. Nothing is what the GOP does for everything and I'm too tired for that.

I think we could do better but even if we got to something closer to what we had in the 60's that'd be a massive improvement.
Pretty much.

South has more non-whites. Not more people with college degrees. What that map shows is the Midwest is lily white.
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Who ISN'T Running At This Point?
Don't you think that map is more a symptom of the racial make up in each area?
That kos article has a number of similar maps. One just shows the percentage of adults in each district who have some sort of college degree, and it shows, at least to my eye, a slightly different make up for the south and midwest. But the chart you posted is "whites with no college degree as a percentage of all adult citizens in each district." I think the word they left out (all) is important. If you have a district like North Dakota that is more than 90% white, and if 70% of the adults have no college degree, then the number of whites with no college degree as a percentage of all adults in the district won't be much different.
But if you have another state where 70% of the people don't have a college degree but it's racial make up is closer to 50/50, isn't the number of whites without a college degree as against all adults in the district going to be naturally smaller?
Edit: I see uno essentially beat me to it.
