I'm not sure about the 'fair & equal' claim because that's the mantra the left has been pushing for 100 years and recently put it on steroids.
However, their idea of 'fair', is to discriminate against those who are successful and 'equal' out what they have accumulated with those who didn't earn or deserve.
None of our founding documents were written with redistribution on mind.... quite the opposite. That ideology goes against the reasons we went to war with King George III and established a Nation that didn't follow a European form of government or rule.
Everyone is afforded the same opportunities for what they choose to do with their life but the phrase "Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness" was never intended as a guarantee that all results would be the same.
2013 - The far right won. Everything will now be fair and equal according to the far right. Exactly how do they accomplish this?

Not trying to make a political statement here. Posed the same question with the far left winning. This is to try to get you-all to think, to follow a premise through to the end, nothing more. See what you can come up with. Have some fun and, please, try to keep your pants from being wound to tight - both sides.

Equal is a sugar substitute that makes you believe it is a good thing even though it contains Aspertame which is bad for you.
So, just like with the above definitions anything the government tells you is fair and equal will probably cheat you and be bad for you.
Ronald Regan explained it best.............
Only true Liberty permits each man to determine this for himself, and only for himself. This alone is all the reason we need to insist that we NOT be Governed.

I don't recall 'the far right' ever making the claim of fair & equal.
What I have heard is people taking personal responsibility for their lives and not be looking for big government to wipe their butts for them throughout their lifetime.
It seems funny that people used to be capable of doing their own wiping but somewhere in the 1930's, government stepped in and insisted they were no longer responsible for doing so.
That's when the European style nanny-state began, where everyone gets a trophy regardless of their effort.
From then on, it was a redistribution method where a certain segment of society could jump aboard the train and ride for free. Over the years, each generation has expected more and become experts at gaming the system
My fair & equal plan is the same the founders left us, that one can soar as high as they choose, or spend a lifetime complaining about those who have. It's all a series of choices and we are all given that same opportunity to make our own.
You were a lot tougher on me... LOL Come on Murph!
After yesterday... I know how tired BOTH of us got!
The far left talks a lot about fair, paying fair share, equal. The far right has sometimes a "My way or the highway" attitude. So the question is posed: You, Ms. JanHopkins, are now the Head Woman in Charge. Your far-right party has been elected. You can have everything you want to have. You believe in fair and equal. So what is it that you are going to do to enact fair and equal?
LOL
