It doesn't mean they're against change. The change just has to be a good one. A free market is a good thing, but I don't think a market is truly free when land and resources function in a nearly feudalist way. A land dividend balances the equation. #Georgism

I'd argue that georgist land value tax & dividend is a redistributive schemes that makes a market system less capitalistic and more distributist though. It starts to look more like Rawls' property-owning democracy and less like what Marx, Hodgskin, and others called "capitalism."

Yes. They don't really want equality of opportunity just formal legal equality that allows the privileged to get ahead based on advantages they've inherited.

Sounds an awful like that guy in high school complaining about the jocks getting all the hot chicks.

This one has always bugged me. "Equality of opportunity" isn't a thing that exists, given a system in which a person's opportunities are largely determined by their parents' outcomes, which are decidedly unequal.

I worry less about the few born millionaires and more about the much larger proportion born in poverty. If everyone can have Maslow’s basic needs, I don’t care if some have more. Currently the deck is stacked against anyone born in poverty, regardless of anecdotal exceptions.
