These people know that economic inequality will exist always. Doctors, lawyers, small business owners, people with high aspirations will always have an economic advantage compared to the uneducated and uninspired folks who work fast food jobs and drive trucks for a living. There will always be someone willing to kick-ass harder, put in longer hours, know more of the right people... have the right connections... have the right advantages... create the right opportunity for themselves to get ahead. That's just the way the world works.

But they don't see that as "fair". What do they think fair is?
