@ Reason et al
If any of you noticed, the 180 thousand whites was not touted as an achievement, but was an excerpt from FF+ leader, Pieter Mulder's speech after he was elected as leader of party the past weekend
what I am saying is that the playing fields are being levelled, in that now both whites and blacks are living in poverty, as part of the middle class, and as high income earners - this is normal in any capitalist society
Before you complain of AA and BEE
the playing fields are as yet not level as there are many more blacks who are living in poverty - with (according to your calculations ) 84 percent of white people earning very well - so there is no reason to complain
the problem is that the 180 thousand who are living in poverty - are mainly people who are unskilled, and who worked in the railways, civil service etc. ( jobs that were reserved for them ) now that these jobs are not available to them they fall into poverty - largely due to laziness, incompetence etc.
Tony Leon is GOD??
as to your assertions that the DA is great because he represents 1.8 million voters, what then of the ANC or Thabo Mbeki who represents 70 percent or 11 million voters - I base my assumptions on personal interaction with Leon -
