> but no one can legislate for equality of outcome... Actually, we can. We can ensure that even if your gamble goes very very wrong, then there is a base living standard that will be provided for you. We're not talking about eliminating inequality, merely limiting the bounds. So people who make a bad gamble don't end up living in squabbles. This enables both slackers and risk takers. I would argue we need to find the balance where society works, keeps making progress, and people don't go homeless, etc..
