No One Actually Wants an Equal Society
#6
RE: No One Actually Wants an Equal Society
Yeah, I agree with other posters that the OP confuses 'equal' with 'identical'.

Sure, everyone would like to have a stroke of luck now and then, but the overwhelming majority of people who enjoy special privileges weren't born into a privileged class, but work their arse off to get where they are (I exempt clerics, criminals, and career politicians).

Most people probably aren't so much looking for that lotto win (although I doubt many would turn it down) as they are looking for a level playing field.
