It's really not that simple. The plans that people are likely to come up with and the amount of motivation they'll feel to follow through with them have a lot to do with their personal background. There are a lot of reasons that it might be easy for you to imagine starting a business and making a success out of it. But you shouldn't be confident that those same reasons will come into play in the life of this nanny.
- googletazer 9y agoSeems like you're striving for equality of outcome, instead of equality of opportunity. And I'm the first person to concede that there is no real equality of opportunity per say, a lot of individual factors come into play. At the same time, say if your parents had the foresight to save money for you to go get a good education/etc (personally I had to take loans), does that mean that those people should be taxed and their money redistributed to those who did not save for their children? Think about this as a software developer, what kind of incentives would that provide, what kind of behaviors would that encourage?
- foldr 9y agoWhat does any of that have to do with the nanny? Anyone who feels guilty about how little their nanny earns is free to either (i) pay the nanny more or (ii) do without a nanny.
