I doubt you can.

Freedom does not mean equality. Freedom simply means that no one shall violate the non aggression principle, no matter who you are.

Freedom has nothing to do with making circumstances equal, it is to make morality equal. If I violently deface anyone beautiful to make things more equal for less attractive people, I have just replaced genetic unfairness with the initiation of violence, something far worse.

I never claimed it did.

You were the one who made the complaint about disproportionate benefit from one economic system. One could reasonably presume that you could recommend a system that is not flawed in that manner? In keeping with your professed libertarian ideals, such a system would necessarily feature economic freedom, yes?

Apparently subtlety is lost on you. I'll use smaller words next time.
