Quite a lot, I'd say.
I didn't work two jobs for 7 years and go to school so I can have the same life as a cousin of mine, a high school dropout with three kids with two different dads and is completely dependent on the government to take care of her and her kids.
Explain to me why someone like that is deserving of an equal outcome? Why should the quality of my life be scaled back so someone like that can have economic equality?
I don't get the trust in government that liberals/socialists/communists/collectivists/pick your ideology have.
Big government has shown throughout history that they are more corrupt than any wealthy people could ever dream of being. Millions upon millions of people have been slaughtered by their own governments throughout history when given too much power, and there is no way possible to solve the economic inequality "problem" without a massive and authoritarian government.
