America was the great home of the natural leveller, which was the land itself. Anyone could go and get the land they needed to use to raise themself up, and all of the poorest had the same opportunity to take it.
Emphasis mine. I think that most every conservative would lose most of their objections to any sort of levelling that involves raising up rather than tearing down (knowing, of course, that absolute levelling could never occur with that constriction).
Levelling that involves someone taking action to raise themself up, I should say.
