Lack of fairness and equality is not the problem.

The problem is lack of equity.

The problem is lack of equity.

Equality and fairness are not handed on a silver platter. No leader would ever do that. You want fairness, fight for it!

The issue is that most societies worldwide are organized like a pyramid - where power and wealth is concentrated at the top. It is more pronounced in societies like China, HK, India, Philippines, 95% of Africa and other parts of the world.

Societies are led more by their institutions such as civil service, stat boards and schools more than they are be individuals. The kind of institutions you have will often determine the kind of leaders the society produces. That's why in most place, a peasant uprising to overthrow dictator regimes often result in new dictators replacing old ones, with most of the oppressive stat boards left intact. You rarely get a French Revolution kind of revolution where feudalism gets abolished with a stroke of a pen. Even in China, when the emperor system was overthrown, you ended up with lots of mini emperors, aka warlords and their fiefdoms before the great Civil War that ended up with the Communist Party. And lo and behold, the Commies behave similar to an emperor system - no check and balances, no elections, corrupt judges and politicians being the norm.

Top 2% has much higher IQ than the rest. Top top percent have good genes than the rest.

Fairness is not to be confused with equality
He who works smarter and harder
Must earn more than ones stewpig and lazy
Equality of Opportunity is far better
Same results for all ruined communism
Buffet said controlled greed is good

In life, there is no such thing as fairness. Get over it.

Life is all about survival of the fittest.

There's no such thing as fairness in this world. Even the commie officials in China don't believe such BS. Look at how their kids are enjoying life in America.

Communism is supposed to be everybody is equal and works for the state, right? Wrong.
