RE: Equality or Liberty?

in #freedom7 years ago

In America, everyone should have equality in opportunity, which for the most part, we all do. What people scream for now is equality of outcome, which is impossible. If you are given equality of outcome, you give up freedom and choice.

Another great post. Thanks for sharing.

You're right; imagine how empty the casinos would be if everyone left with the same amount of money they came with. Nobody would ever go again. "Equality under the law", "Equality of opportunity"; yes, they are to be favored, but, as you say, equality of outcome removes all freedom of actions, freedom of choice and incentives. ... Yup; you got that right!
