[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Not everyone starts in the same place, First. The son of someone making $300,000 is not the same as the son of someone barely scraping $12,000 a year. Now, let me look at those definitions of yours. Conservative definition of "Fair": seeing that the laws treat everyone equally, so that everyone has the same STARTING place (not allowing for social and financial inequalities which in fact make certain that not everyone has the same STARTING place), then allowing nature to take its course (so that the rich have an easy time making it, and the less fortunate more often than not don't), wherin everyone rises or falls according to their merits, abilities, and actions (which explains why we've got a 50-year old guy flipping burgers at McD's because more often than not, he went to work ASAP to help support his family and didn't have the advantage of going to school) Liberal definition of "Fair": seeing to it that individual citizens contribute more or less (depending on their financial standings) to help the less fortunate have opportunities that might not otherwise be available to them, so that no matter the lack of financial or other opportunities readily available to the upper classes, the lower classes will have the opportunity to succeed based on their merits, abilities, and actions. Your definition completely ignores social equalities which do exist. Therefore, your definition is not correct. [/QB][/QUOTE]
