I really should be working. I have way too much to do today, but I wanted to share a little perspective here.
In the real natural world there are winners and losers. The idea of society helps to equalize that harsh reality to some degree but the real truth is that just as in beasts of nature some make it some don't. There are variables that we're born with (born into poverty or affluence; natural intelligence or lack thereof) and variables that we shape (work ethic, character and relationship building come to mind). But to think that we all need to be equal in every facet is a farce, it's extreme idealism, it's unattainable. Our system is sometimes flawed but what system isn't? At the very least our system is aimed at keeping things like race, sex, sexual orientation and religious belief from limiting your possibilities. Our base political economic system strives to give everyone a similar starting point, and it's pretty much up to you what you do from there.
If you took the nations money supply and distributed it evenly what do you think would happen over the course of 10 years? I'm pretty certain you'd have upper class, middle class and poverty. It's natural. Is it fair? Is anything in life truly fair?
Okay back to work.
