Then what needs to be done is equity of opportunity, actual equity, not what we have now.

Think of it like a game.

When you start the game, you are randomly assigned a time (ancient or modern) and place, physical characteristics, and parental social status (or orphan).

Some of these randomly assigned characteristics give you an advantage over other players and some of these give you a distinct disadvantage.

If you were playing this game (as a computer game) and you rolled a disadvantaged character, you'd probably just quit the game and roll a new character.

However, if this game had no NPCs, then it would be impossible for every single player to live in the lap of luxury.

It doesn't matter how rich you might be, if there is nobody willing to patrol the streets and remove the garbage and work for minimum wage at your local grocery store, then you will certainly starve to death.
