What Democrats suggest they want is not possible. Equality of outcome is irreconcilable with the human condition. As long as there is private property someone will always have something more or something better than someone else. People are and always will be and come from different circumstances, they will think and behave differently. And all the things that make them who they are define the nature in which they will approach labor. And there can be no equality of labor.
Someone will always be better at the same task than someone else. They might be smarter, faster, stronger, more intellectuality agile, have a better eye, a steadier hand, they may try harder to please, or demonstrate some other acuity that separates them and their performance from others. And because you cannot mandate the outcome of labor, you can never regulate equality, except to limit it by force, to the lowest common denominator, where the best anyone is permitted to be is the weakest link in the chain. It is only in this manner that Government can affect an equality of outcome, by force.
Being programmed by the state has finally hit kids where they live–in the stomach. And there is an important lesson to be learned if the kids and their stomachs are listening. That lesson is this: Federal mandates apply force, limit choices, and result in waste, and that is exactly what has happened thanks to Michelle Obama and her meddling bureaucrats at the USDA etc.
