Conversely, if the "equality" program is prohibited from routinely redistributing wealth, power, and prestige, than is not the only way to accomplish this to reduce the benefits benevolently extended by the program to the lowest common denominator? I.e everyone gets the same amount of "stuff" as the most mininalistic and self disciplined person? If thats the case, how is this not "oppressive" to those that have a natural inclination to desire and/or consume more?
