Let me give an example where a society that gives equal opportunity to everyone would provide a bad outcome. Here it is: The government taxes the rich 70% and gives that wealth to a poor families. The parents of one of those poor families take that money and buys a car and nice expensive clothes. The family has no money now, and the child is still forced to go to work. However, the child gets straight A's.
Is this situation impossible? And if not, is this societal setup disgusting because of the bad outcome?
Your situation is unlikely because the poor family still need to eat and would share food with the kid. However it's certainly not impossible.
However you've just pointed out what I've been trying to convey to you all along. In your example of the current system the kid gets straight As, and is therefore likely to be able to move up in society through his academic ability.
In my example of your system, the kid is denied that opportunity.
