See, Dan, you qualified your statement by saying if everyone had an
equal opportunity to be rich. But we all know that isn't the way it is,
right? So opportunity is not fairly distributed. That means my idea of
fairness is not so bad is it?

Actually it means your idea of fairness in flawed.

That would be a much better argument, yes. But again, we know that it's
not just a matter of who puts out a good work effort and who didn't.
Many people work like dogs and remain poor. How people get rich isn't
equally doled out so lots of people who don't earn wealth get it anyway.


But lots do, so your definition is flawed.


So what does that mean? Sometimes it is fair that someone is rich and
sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's fair to be poor and sometimes it's
not. But nothing here leads to any kind of conclusion. My main point is
that America's wealth is unfairly distributed with a few having way more
than they should. Many people agree with me.

And many people disagree with you.
