Life is never completely fair, but the role of society is to make it as fair as possible.

Hmmm. So, you think the role of society is to just take all the money everyone has and divide it up equally, or what?

There may some societies where they do that. But this nation was built, from its very core, on the idea that people who strive for success may be able to attain success, and people who don't, probably won't. It does not, and never has, purported to guarantee anyone anything other than what is provided for by the Constitution -- and that does not include union wages, the "right" to only work so many hours in a week, or free health insurance or the "right" to be free from having to reach more than 18" for fear of damaging one's elbow.

Most Americans want a fair wage for a day's work. That is not, today, $20 or $25/hour for doing minimum wage work.

I think you'd be far more comfortable in the former Soviet Union or Red China.
