It also rewards those lucky enough to come out of the right vagina. While I do think capitalism to be the best rationing system we've come up with (price system and market economies at least) but let's not act like there are equal outcomes for equal intelligence and effort.

For the fast food workers, you're seeing the result of the weak labor market play out. They are working and trying to cut out a living. They're at least putting in the effort. No need to demonize them.

They should try to collectively bargain and see where they get. If others are willing to come in and undercut the union negotiated wages, well that's their problem. They have every right to demand more pay though, no matter how much anyone thinks they "deserve". The system is how much you can get, not what you deserve to get.

Smart, hard work came into play at some point.

"equal" is just wordplay that has entered the American psyche from those who wish to further socialism and communism. When people stop comparing their 'haves and have nots' to others, there will be a lot more happier people. Keeping up with the Joneses is a national past time now.

I'm not. I'm demonizing the ones that make no effort to better or improve themselves and are simply demanding more, just because of "equality and fairness".
