All Created Equal? A Sinister Doctrine!

Wilson J. Moses:

…

   Laissez faire ideology breeds hostility to public schools, public health and all forms of public welfare, including social security, and even the Post Office.
   Laissez faire finds its justification in the egalitarian myth that all persons are born on an equal footing. The lamb and the tiger are (if I may steal William Blake's metaphors) are created equal, and if the lamb fails to get one up on the tiger, it is simply because she did not put her mind to it.
