re: #555 OhNoZombies!

Equal outcome is not the point. Equal access to opportunity is. Fairness under the law is the point. The ability to raise ones family, yes after a long days work, without worrying about how your going to pay your water bill is the point…

YES. THIS.

I’ve never known anyone, apart from a few far left cranks I knew back in the early 90’s, that wants equality of outcome. Equality of opportunity, OTOH, is the main goal.

The question is, how do you gain equality of opportunity when the wealthiest 1% stack the deck against the remaining 99%?
