There is no equality in the universe. There is only differences in matter and energy. A political policy and promise of equality, economic or otherwise, belies the fundamental basis of all living beings, and for that matter, all things.
Furthermore, any political philosophy promoting our differences for political gain undermines the belief in and foundation of individual freedom.
There is a difference between equal access and equality. We are not equal. We are all individual with different abilities, goals, and desires. And that is what makes us all interesting, productive and frankly fun to be with.
Therefore we desire freedom to choose and freedom from discrimination based on anything other than our abilities, goals, desires and willingness to work to achieve them.
