It's intrinsic to existence that no two people start on equal footing. One will be smarter, another will be a harder worker. Your rule would mean no form of capitalism is permissible at any point. I think at some point parents must have stopped informing their children that life isn't fair and deal with it.

That's very easy to swallow when you are born on the upper end of the scale. Not so much when you are born to a single mother on a Flint MI ghetto or when you are born gay in Nigeria, or a girl on war-torn Sudan.

Just because you are comfortable on middle-upper class doesn't mean you can't be objective about this things. That some kids are born into wealthy families and some are born in sub-Saharan Africa and forced to mine minerals for the former's iPad until they are 15 and keel over is undeniably wrong. But it's what arises from capitalism.

Yes, because there's so much free market in sub-Saharan Africa.
