>until the root cause is addressed: income inequality
As far as I can tell, income inequality mainly stems from inequality of opportunity. I think a country is as free as its ability to give all its citizens the same opportunities.

Precisely the sort of thing government is meant to address: problems no other actor has incentive or ability to address.
