You presented some ideas I never really gave a second thought to. Having always been a Democrat (most American Jews are or at least we're) you certainly give me a lot to question especially given the far left ideology of Democrats today. Yes indeed... equality and equity are NOT one and the same.
I remember feeling/thinking this in 2006, when a screaming liberal seminary professor - no less - was substituting the word stakeholder for the word shareholder. He was advocating the substitution as an appropriate paradigm shift for all the men and women of God in his class, to adopt as their own... pointing out the inherent unfairness of such quaint ideas as capitalism, merit, personal property, profit, etc.
He made us read Jim Wallis books, offering Wallis as our role model for the new evangelicalism; an equity based evangelicalism in which WE decide who has rights to what, and who oughta have what. Poor Jim himself probably doesn't even know. My favorite expression, "That's why they call it blindness".
