The reality of economics is that some people will always have more than others. The best an economic system can do is provide freedom within that system so that opportunity can be generated and acted upon. Artificially generating "opportunity" doesn't work. In fact it is impossible. Artifical opportunity is almost exactly the opposite of real opportunity. It shackles a person to a specific system along with everyone else and generates, at best, the same level of "success" as those other people. True success HAS to be offset by failure in some way within the system to make it actual success. It is simply a ledger that has to be balanced.
