You make the mistake of assuming that all inequalitites are the result of chaos and uncontrollable circumstances. Sometimes it is quite possible to justly assign blame for social problems. The reforms of the past were not jsut dreamed up by some socialist cabal, but were enacted to address real grievances suffered by real people. Should we repeal the child labor or anti-sweatshop laws because they are trying to enforce "fairness?" Life may not be fair, but that is no excuse to ignore the injustices that we can do something about.
