"Created equal" refers to God-given rights, equal in the sight of God. They're not saying everyone is exactly as athletic, clever, or whatever. I hope in time you'll realize what an idiot you've been.

In other words, DESPITE difference in ability, and perservering deservedness, we should get the same results, because "fairness".

right-o govnah.

I'd say 100% inheritance tax on everything above $x and have x pegged to the CPI. You would have to ramp up gift taxes too though to make it effective.
