Not sure why lefties are so unhealthily ibsessed with the issue of 'equality'.
Unless it's equality brfore the law, inequality is hard-wired into nature, expecially human nature.
Equality is not worth the loss of a moment's sleep. I rather LIKE inequality, actually: that there are people smarter, fitter, richer than myself that i can compete with and measure myself against and therefore improve my condition.
Three cheers for inequality!
The proper measure of the success of an economic system is if it favours sicial and economic mobility and prevents vast numbers of the desperately poor to exist without hope of bettering themselves.
By this standard--the only sensible one--nothing in anyone's lifetime or their great-great-great grandchildren's lifetimes can ever hope to improve on capitalism.
