This idea that we are all the same is the bedrock of many lefty ideas. Yet it is painfully obvious to anyone with any sense that not all humans are created equally.

The left pushes for an equality of outcome, which is indistinguishable from equality of outcome.

"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.
