What would happen if there was no social equality?
Answers
Answer:
Normality would happen. Humans are diverse and inequality is normal, healthy and stimulating.
The entire concept of equality is dangerous, unhealthy, impossible to achieve and a false premise intended by Progressives to maintain a sense of dependency on government to achieve fulfillment in life.
Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that in declaring our independence from England we hold that all men (meaning people) are created equal (in terms of the law, privilege and opportunity), and are endowed by their creator (meaning the traditional Judeo-Christion God, but free to assume whatever deity each person chooses) with certain unalienable rights, (rights that come from your god, or are natural to you as humans, are not from any government or men, and cannot be taken from you), that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (as opposed to any implication of the length of life, your health, what you do with the freedoms of liberty, quality in wealth, in material value, worth, abilities, ambitions, success, beauty of person, physical stature or bushels of grain per acre from your labor).
The idea is that, in this new country there will be no privileges bestowed upon any person due to rank, ancestor, family, friends, affiliations, royalty or any demographic distinctions.
Because of the over abundance of caution by various participants in this process, and after months of heated debate, it was finally agreed that specifics must be added to clearly convey the details of these equalities. Even though some argued the fallacy and danger in making a specific list is that someone at sometime will conclude because some unalienable right was left off the list, it is not, therefore a right when the intent was that all rights of man are unalienable.
That argument failed and the Bill of Rights, consisting of the first 10 amendments and containing 26 separate and distinct “rights”, was added by the Constitutional process of making changes or clarifications, adding to or deleting the essence of the Constitution in Article V.
They were thorough, realistic and not so arrogant as to think changes would not be necessary,
In spite of that, Progressives and some liberals and some conservatives continue to believe our Constitution is flawed in some way and must be replaced with something that is more appropriate to the complexities and technicalities of modern America. What they really mean is that man does not have inalienable rights, that they do not come from God but from government, that they are earned not natural, that the people are not capable of governing this new and unanticipated world of immense complexity and that an elite, selected group of experts must be the authorities deciding all matters of government,
And here you thought this was a simple question of equality. Nothing simple about it if one does not make it clear what is meant by equality, what is included in our commitment to equality and what is not meant to be considered equality.
You simply are not in line to have the wealth of Bill Gates guaranteed to be yours and you know why. so do not confuse “equal rights” with “equal results”
