Freedom is equality. Equality is the ability for a person to be able to make the same choices, in the exact same situation, as the another person. Choices should not be limited based on sex, race, or class. That does not mean an equality of outcome, income, or existence. It is not fair to limit choices based on a persons good luck, current income, or who they know. Building a fair and equal society is about choices, not status.

I was born into a low income family. Jenna Bush was born into the wealthy elite. With freedom, we work with the cards we are given. With equality, we're given a few extra cards so that the game isn't fixed. Therein is the difference.
