On that spectrum, my thought is more towards that education should be available to all, but also that the economics we live under doesn't have a process to distribute sufficient goods widely enough such that people have strong practical independence.

It's not that some entities cannot have more than others, it's that we have entire classes where their first order needs (food, shelter, clothing) aren't met despite being willing to work and working, let alone their second order needs (enough margin of profit for emergency funding, healthcare, means to acquire skills initially or skills in different areas, etc), or even third order needs (a broad means to form new ventures addressing what is locally perceived as important). If those areas are met and within a stable system, then I think it's fine that some entities have more wealth - but too much imbalance imho causes systemic instability.

Great response, thanks for clarifying.

That's a false dichotomy.

I wasn't intending to imply it was one or the other, I was trying to get the parent to clarify their comment, and those were my 2 best guesses, sorry if came off like that.

Gotcha, no worries.
