re: #269 Blind Frog Belly White

Skin in WHAT game, exactly? It’s like the idea that everyone needs to pay Federal Income Tax, so they have ‘skin in the game’.

Invoking Jefferson and ‘skin in the game’ is funny, considering his views on skin and father children on women he owned because of the color of their skin.

Well that’s where the conversation kind of broke down. I couldn’t get him to explain why people who rented a home weren’t affected by the laws passed by elected representatives. I asked if renters with kids in school didn’t quite literally have skin in the game when it came to school board elections, and we wandered off into school-related issues in the conversation.
