> Liberalism announces ‘one person, one vote’ and ‘equality before the law’, and yet somehow the children of the wealthy have a plusher time on Christmas morning than those of the very poor (not to mention most other days of their lives). I'm not sure I see the "and yet" conflict here; equality before the law and one person, one vote don't have anything to do with money. In fact, the big deal about these two ideas is that they completely ignore how much money you have. Maybe someone can explain to me what the author means here.
