Isn't it amazing how quickly 'lucky' people like injustice?
So, I noticed a situation online... doesn't impact on anything major, unlike real-life politics, but I think it can be a useful analogy... where some kind of 'cabal' chooses candidates to be voted on... like some sort of filtered democracy (and in fact someone pointed out the similarity to the electoral college, suddenly in their eyes the most amazing thing ever to just disregard millions of votes... just because they lucked out and happened to be chosen)... the world is seriously so pathetic. It's, like, many that were simply not chosen for some obscure reason, and never told why, are likely too depressed to fight... but the few individuals who are more angry than depressed... are attacked by the chosen ones. Like, how idiotic can one be not to see that it's as likely for someone to have been chosen as for someone not to have been... especially if the process is as opaque as a rock. Ugh, this world, I swear...
As I read the OP, the meaning is that those people who happens to be favored in any aspect of their lives - happens to think that whatever system that caused them to be favored must be good.
- Except when the exact same system does not favor them.
To give you another example, but still within the meaning of the OP (I think):
We - you and I - both agree that if we cast the dice, when either of us get 2*6 the one who cast the dice gets $1000 in cash. And it has to be paid by the opponent. The rule happens to be that when you get 2*1 - you get $2000 - again the opponent has to pay.
You cast the dice, get 2*6 and I pay you $1000.
The I cast the dice and get 2*1. You have to pay me $2000.
The rules are the same. But now it's in my favor so you don't like the rules. You say it's unfair/injustice.
But you weren't complaining about the exact same rules when they favored you - when you got $1000.
That's the hipocrisy the OP is talking about. That's human nature. It is why I say humanity is inherently evil.

Ahh ... now I get it ...
It is like the saying, "When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like a threat".
Or maybe This Woman's Claim
A way to solve this age-old question of equality is UBI - Unconditional Basic Income.
It's not inequality itself that is bad. It is the fact that some people can enjoy life without having to work, when they demand that everyone else work so they don't have to pay too many taxes for welfare benefits.
This is the true injustice, because had those exact same people been born in poverty without any opportunities in life, they would most likely by a chance of at least 90 % be in favor of welfare and high taxation.
We need a system that actually provides a way of life without the need or obligation to work, yet still provide incentive to work and embetter their own life. A system based on personal choices rather than upbringing, inheritance, ethnicity etc.
The ideal society would be one with no inheritance for anyone. Not the rich. Not the poor. Nobody should be able to inherit money, property etc. It should be the same for EVERYONE. Both you, and me your parents and everybody else and everybody else's parents, families, the entire world. If only some should be ineligible for inheritance, it would only cause more unfairness/injustice so it needs to be the entire world.
Everybody should start from scratch. That's true egalitarianism. That's true Justice.

Would you take away a millionaires estate on death if they had only 1 million in investable assets and they had a child who was on the spectrum that could not work.?Contrary to popular opinion....the rich are the Americans that pay the most in taxes.The bottom 61 percent pays effectively zero income tax to the feds by some accounts and measures and estimates.The rich already pay more than their fair share.UBI would take up 100 percent of tax dollars collected so like the only way you would be able to finance it would be Papa Powell and the fed which would cause the dollar to lose all value.You could take away all the millionaires and billionaires money and it would not end poverty.LBJ tried to nd poverty and he failed big time.Jesus said you will always have the poor.Poverty will always be with us.

Yes.
Although a million isn't as significant as it once was, so there's probably a point in the near future where the first million would pass under whatever is considered a fair thresh hold.
Beyond that, currently wouldn't that person setup some sort of trust fund for the dependent you described?
But also, if an adequate social safety net exists that person isn't going to fall into poverty, but why should they be entitled to remain in luxury?

Ya one million used to be a lot bigger but say like a million would only be enough for 10,000 to 30,000 dollars a year worth of income for a young person and thats not counting a house.I dont think 10,000 to 30,000 a year in income in retirement income for life is luxury for someone in America.They are entitled to live in luxury because it is not the governments place to decide who gets to live in luxury and we will always have the poor.I can guarentee thhat.One saying amoung us finance bros is that all estate taxes is optional.
"Epigenetic Potential;"
What Every Evolved Animal
Is Born With in Inheritance From
All the Evolution They Come From,
In Terms of Unpacking DNA In Adaptation

The state has every right to implement and collect estate taxes if laws are passed mandating them. They have every right to use taxation to adequately fund social programs even if that negatively impacts the ability to hoard wealth.

Yes. If the government took away millionaires estates and assets on death, it will have sufficient money to spend on helping the child who's on the spectrum, to provide better chances in life. It's called Welfare.
i'm Always Amused When Folks Cherry Pick Holy
Books to Justify the Actions of Not Helping The Poor
And Helping the Poor too, Depending on if it is the
Verse Where the Jesus Dude is Getting Expensive Oils
Applied to His Body By a Very Accommodating Woman
And Chances Are if He was Really a Heterosexual Man,
A Lap Dance, (Grinding Dance in a Metro Dance Hall)
or Something Like that Might Have Been
Included, After All 'He' Was Suggested
to Experience All That Humans
Experience Back Then For Yes
Highest Levels of Compassion
For Yes Other Humans, Since HE
was Human too; OF COURSE SINCE
Internal Studies of Christian Sects Like
The Catholic One Indicate Up to 58 Percent
Are of Homosexual Persuasion; Chances Are at
Least Some of the So-Called Apostles Were too;
Considering That Science Also Shows Homosexual Individuals
Arise Through Population Stresses And Hormones in the Womb
That Naturally Arrange For A More Supportive Human Individual to
Be Born Versus
One Who
is More
Apt to Reproduce Competitively
Yes With Another Reproductively
Oriented Member of the Species;
Yes, An Unmarried Man in 'that Day;
Would Have Been Seen as Very Low Status
As A Widow Or Unmarried Woman Would Have
Been Seen Even Lower on the 'Chosen Ones Status'
of the Social Hierarchy; However, Playing a Supportive
Role Like Applying Ointment and 'the Such', Surely A Possibility
For Both Man And Or Woman in 'Those Days too'; So, Sure, Since the
Catholic Authorities of the Past ages, Who Selected Mix and Match Scripts
for Inclusion in A Book That Finally Gained Verse Numbers in the 1300's, One
Will Find Verses to
Justify Just About
Every Nice, and
Naughty, And Violent,
And Raping, And Discriminating,
And Slaving Way That Human Still Has
the Potential to Do; Yes, The Entire Book
Does Aptly Describe What is DarK Thru LiGHT
About Human Potential For Real
As One Need Not Look Far Past the
Beatitudes of Matthew, Where an All Loving
Merciful God Man, Loving the Enemy Same As God
And Self and Neighbor, Turning the Other Cheek; Suddenly,
Reverses Course And Penalizes the Once Loyal Sheep Who Do Not
Feed the Poor,
Changing them
Into Goats And Burning
Them Forever With No Forgiveness,
Mercy, Or Any Love at All, JUST PURE
TORTURING HATE FOREVER AS JESUS
LITERALLY TURNS INTO A REAL DEVIL
WITH NO FORGIVENESS, NO MERCY, NO LOVE
JUST TORTURING THOSE WHO ARE NOT DO GOODERS
FOREVER
IN HELL;
ANYWAY, this aptly explains
Why 78 Percent of Republicans,
Many Who are Evangelical Christians,
So Easily Ignore THE FACT THAT TRUMP
HELPED INCITE A DEADLY INSURRECTION TO OVERTURN Democracy;
YES, FAIR ELECTIONS AND PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER AGAIN

LEADER AND HOUSE MINORITY LEADER, AFTER THEY WERE 'SCALDED
DOGS'
IN FEAR
OF LOSING
THeiR LIFE
BY TRUMP'S
INCITEMENT OF
THE INSURRECTION THEN....
Yet of Course Many of those Folks
Take a Gospel Truth that an All Loving
Merciful, Forgiving God, Tortures HIS
Creation Forever And Ever Amen
If they Don't Do
The Required
Do Gooding
And Feed The Poor
And Give them the

Well the government does not have the constitutional right to take away all of everybodies private property and wealthy and money.I would leave the country if that happened but I do agree taxes are needed.
