Texas Travesty

Since 1997

Throwing it back is a metaphor for redistributing the wealth

February 12, 2020 by Texas Travesty

Abstract:

When conducting this study, we found that a vast majority of straight young men want a girl that can throw it back, but only half of these young men support the heavy taxation of billionaires. In this article, we assess the lack of correlation between these survey responses and propose why the two viewpoints should, in theory, align more closely.  

Method:

The participants were straight males ages 15-24. In order to ensure a 100% response rate, we offered a complimentary bottle of 3-in-1 body wash/shampoo/conditioner

to those who completed the survey.

Results:

From this survey pool, 98% of straight males said yes, they do in fact want a girl who can throw it back. Conversely, only 51% of those same straight males said yes, they think we should tax billionaires at a higher rate. 

Discussion:

While these two survey questions may not appear to be related, they are really referring to the same thing. The first question concerns the literal act of physically throwin it back. The taxation question refers to fiscally throwin it back: wealth redistribution.

Conclusion: 

If young men are asking women to be willing and able to adequately throw it back, shouldn’t they be asking the same from the one percent? Shouldn’t they expect them to arch those backs of wealth and swing the rest of us a break? To throw back some of that income? Yes, they

absolutely should. 

Conflicts of Interests/Pre-existing Biases:

I cannot throw it back physically or fiscally.
