equal opportunities means that no one is barred for doing X. whether one can afford to do X is another story completely
By trying to equalize outcomes you do a couple things. You teach a portion of the public that they dont have to do anything because the government will take care of them. this is bad because the cycle gets worse not better
You should not be punishing people who do right, which is what happens why you try and equalize outcomes
Lets take sports for example, I would never want to see equal outcomes in sports, it would kill the game. patriots won the superbowl last year? well, we cant let them win again until all the other teams get a win, because, you know fairness. Plain and simple that is wrong on so many levels
