[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 830126, member: 31608"] I used that as a premise because it's the lofty ideal that Western politics claims to stand for; for that reason, it seemed like a reasonable starting point. What of people born into privilege - are they somehow naturally better, or is it just the luck of birth? I don't disagree in the slightest that people are shaped by their life experiences and that true utopian equality is probably a pipe dream; I do think, however, that some measure of equality is to be desired. Not only desired, but that it can be achieved without punishing the successful. OK. [/QUOTE]
