Fair

On a superficial look my skeptical view on discrimination is over-reacting. There should be a clear line between discrimination and (market) competition: nobody should be disadvantaged in a competition because of his age, race, or social class.

"Why couldn't I have this expensive monoclonal antibody treatment ?" some poor people roar.

That's the reason our government covers many of these costly treatment for our CSSA recipients. Then why on earth should we work hard ? In reality, you are discriminating those who earn their own living. When we start, we say people should have fair competition. Now we conclude that all people should have the same share of the fruit irrespective to the result of competition.

If you are not yet convinced, followers of Karl Marx had done excellent experiments on this area. The results are published on millions of tombstones in Siberia and its south.

There is no wrong government policy as long as it has the mandate - not ours.
