March 07, 2005 Suppose humanity had a fairy godmother that could, with one stroke of her wand, make all people economically equal. She'd take from the rich and give to the poor, take from the fortunate to give to the unfortunate, take from the thrifty to give to the thriftless as well. The moment every person was provided the same amount of money to begin with, inequality would naturally set in all over again since each person would choose to use his or her allowance differently.
