Excellent question, rat. No, I don't think that there is equal opportunity for all right now in this country. I think that that should be our goal, for moral reasons. And surprisingly enough, I think that there are those who need help directly, in addition to opportunity. These include children of those who don't take advantage of the opportunity provided.
So, how to go about achieving that goal? There are a lot of things, like improving the educational system, motivating kids to stay in school, job training, child care and so on. There are a million programs to improve opportunity for those who want to take advantage of it.
But the key is to reward effort, not failure. One only has to look at the USSR of old to see what a dismal failure it is to give no incentive to hard work.
And regarding the "arrogance" comment, that gave me a smile :-) If you could read the Liberal posts with my eyes :-)
