Like I said, I’m not interested in hearing why you believe other individuals should be forced to pay more money to things that would benefit you. Do you have any examples of government inequality? For instance, does the law require that a white student with the same SAT as a black student be prioritized?

We were talking about inequality of opportunity. There are lots of sources of this inequality.

One example of government inequality is in sentencing of crimes. Also in arrests related to drug possession. Another example is tax breaks for the wealthy. And farm subsidies. Access to federal money for small businesses.

Sure, in the case I believe any inequality in sentencing and arrests should be eliminated. As should subsidies and non-consumption taxes, making tax breaks irrelevant/impossible. Seems like you have no such consistency.

Why do you say I have no consistency? I’m not making judgments. I’m simply pointing out that there is ample inequality of opportunity.
