I'd posit - political corruption is the number 1 cause of inequality. Politicians are the least qualified to govern. As written in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (I'm paraphrasing): The problem w/ society is that those who want to govern probably shouldn't, and those most apt and equipped to govern (humility, intelligence, compassion) don't want or apply for the position... So instead of randomly divying out kids, the better solution: 100% random draw elections. You can turn it down if you want, but nobody can "run for election". You can't tell me 500 strangers couldn't come together in a decade-long term, and manage this country in a fair/equitable way -- better than say a group of 500 congress-people where about 80% or greater have pocketed cash from corporate donors.
