Agreed with a lot of this. but the only equality we should be pushing for is equality of opportunity.

I strongly oppose any attempts to make equality of outcome. Although we should all be equal in the eyes of the law. That doesn't mean we should all enjoy an even split of the economic pie.

Some people are smarter than others, some people work harder (or work smarter). And some the free market just rewards for their talent to throw a ball (see sports stars etc).

I know a lot of people who are content to just do their 40 hour work week, and then kick back the rest of the time. But if you really want to get ahead that's no where near enough.

I worked 40+ hours a week while going to school to get my MBA. Same for the 10 months of intense studying for my CPA.

You can be damn sure I wouldn't have done that if it wasn't going to carry an economic reward. Mine as well sit around playing video games...

Don't trade BS wokeism, for BS socialism nonsense
