"You evade the point at hand. You demanded equality of outcome. "
I do not. I demand an equal voice in that court and my voice does not carry the same weight as those who purchase large legal firms to say their piece - those whose "position" offers them certain protections from some prosecutions.

I do not.

From your original post: Prosperity must apply to all in our nation or it really applies to no one

From your second response: Until the playing field is level, there will always be a great many dividing lines in the society - don't try to tell me that everyone in the country "plays fair" and everyone has exactly the same OPPORTUNITY as everyone else - that is just not true and you know it.

The only thing the goverment is supposed to guarantee is equal protection under the law.
It fails in that sometimes, but that is all you get.

You have demanded equality of opportunity. You can't have it. Some are born richer, smarter, or luckier than others. Government can't help that, nor should it.
