I don't think that people even want equality of opportunity.  I think most people would overwhelmingly prefer to be born into privilege.  Why do you think that Disney princess movies and the British monarchy are so wildly popular?  Why do so many people dream of winning the lottery?  Because people want privilege, not equality.  Especially if those privileges came from a windfall, like being born into royalty or winning the lottery.  

No one wants an equal society.  People would much prefer to have special privileges.
