How do you define "equality of opportunity"? Big subject, but in terms of the current discussion it involves equalizing the rewards for equivalent contribution. Different people have different things to contribute towards the common good (whatever that happens to be for the endevour they are in). This also means that the time-value rewards should be at least similar. As you point out, it's not really practical to make the labor or even intellectual input translate to some permanant reward. There is always the "what have you done for me lately" effect. That means, for equality sake, turning to the other side of the equation, the capital too would have it's "what have you contributed lately". Just because a property can be assigned in perpetuity does not mean it ought to be.
