There will always be inequality just as there will always be inequality. Near Commerce, OK, where baseball legend Mickey Mantle was raised is a place called The Field of Dreams where boys go to play baseball. There is no equality on the diamond because the Mickey Mantles are rare and the lackluster players are common. The pink glass lense wearing philosophers have convinced you that equality must be a part of civilization but the folks in the trenches know the reality of life shows that some are smarter- some are faster- some are stronger, more nimble, better problem solvers, more capable leaders, etc. Some will never be content to be average. And, they will do whatever it takes to rise up above the "equality" you dream about. If I can lay twice as many brick in a day as other masons, why should I not be paid more? If my 40 acres of land consistently produces more food than everyone else's 40 acres because I work smarter, why should I not earn more? If my students consistently outperform the students if all other teachers because I understand how students' minds actually learn, why shouldn't I earn more? Should physicians who have high rates of deaths with their patients still practice medicine?
