What is a fair society?

Is it a society where everyone is equal and the spoils are shared?

Is it a society where people get what they deserve based on their work effort?

Is there more to be considered?
Some people get rich ,off little effort, simply because they had a vision or purpose. Most people don’t know what their purpose is so lack vision. I don’t think there is a fair society because everyone has different talents and some talents are more valued than others. Some people may get rich unfairly but there are those that lack drive but why should they not when they don’t believe in themselves. I do believe some people don’t have a lot of choices.

I lean towards people get what they deserve based on their work ethic. That is, to the extent of their ability. Personally, I think the economy now has some of the hardest working people in poverty, which is not at all ideal to me. Meanwhile, there are some families with so much wealth that they could coast for as many as 6 generations without working at all. This applies to the U.S. and to the world as a whole even more. Beyond being not ideal, it's immoral. It makes me sick to see it.

A society where people get what they deserve based on their work effort is that not what we have now? The we want every thing for free people are now trying to change

Meritocracy is the best platform. Nonetheless a society who takes care of the weak ones, old people and children too

Where opportunity is equal. Like thats going to happen.
Opportunity is said to be equal here but not everyone has the same talent. If it’s so easy to get rich why do people become social workers and teachers because the pay is not great. I believe people follow their own path or calling and that doesn’t always lead to riches. I don’t mind that there are rich people but I don’t want to be exploited by them either. @whowasthatmaskedman

@Spoiledbrat I completely agree.. And those that earn more from exploiting their talent often provide opportunities for others. While I see them as entitled to keep a large part of the extra they earn, I do believe they should pay some extra in taxes to support the nation which provided them with the environment to flourish.
I agree 100 percent. @whowasthatmaskedman

There's too many people, nothing will ever work with billions of people demanding to feel special.
