10. Except I didn't say that poverty is the sole cause of social injustice. Not at all.

I agree that their are many reasons for social injustice beyond poverty- but poverty is a big honking and undeniable piece of of social injustice.

Nor did I say that the issues are the same. I said they're indivisible to me, and that's particularly true in our specific culture. I said they're two side to the same coin. That is not saying that they're the same. I made that clear when I pointed to two current SCOTUS cases.

No offense, but I think you read into my op what YOU wanted to read, not what it said.
