How can we make inequality meaningful?

Answer 1

We cannot make equality or inequality meaningful. We can only work hard, develop our capabilities, invent and innovate, be honest and create wealth. The people who contribute to the process share the wealth and income in accordance with their contribution and quality of contribution. nOT BY SHOUTING ABOUT EQUALITY AND OVERTY.

Answer 2

1. Regulated capitalism, such that people are paid according to the
quantity and difficulty of their work.

2. Get rid of socialist programs, like public schools, social security,
healthcare, etcetera, because such programs grant unearned equality.
Thus, eliminating them will create meaningful inequality.

3. Decentralize some aspects of government. Let people reap the
consequences of the policies that they support, be those consequences
beneficial or detrimental to them.

4. Illegalize gambling of all kinds, which causes undeserved inequality.

5. Do not allow immigration, and especially illegal immigration, from
countries that have a significantly lower standard of living than one's own.
Let people determine their own fate.

6. Get rid of all sorts of 'nanny state' policies which supposedly
protect people from themselves, but interfere with one's personal
freedoms. Educate the people about the dangers via warning labels,
but let people reap the consequences of their own decisions.

7. Not only is the public school system a socialist program, but
it is doubly evil because it hinders people with high potential and
gives undeserved assistence to people with low potential. Get rid
of it.

Answer 3

If we learn from it & do better then I suppose we've derived some meaning.
Since everything has a subjective meaning then it would be up to the individual to decide what was meaninful.
If you grow up poor & disadvantaged & pull yourself up & better yourself, then the inequality becomes meaningful.
