How exactly did you start a business while homeless? Apparently you did not have to carry any inventory and you probably didn't have any productive capital equipment. Was it all in your head?
So you equate equal opportunity with becoming rich?
Why doesn't equal opportunity mean being able to climb the ladder one step at a time?
Once you reach the first rung you are on your way. If you strive for something else, you can usually get there, if you work hard enough.
That's all that opportunity means.
You are not supposed to be given wealth. You have to earn it. And everyone has the same shot at it.
...when they go to great lengths to keep their kids out of failing public schools? (e.g. they often homeschool their kids or do everything possible to avoid failing public schools and put their kids in better schools)
You think Dems all send their kids to public school ? Think again my friend.

btw, I just looked and one of my companies has 1,305,999 items listed for sale. Since I'm a 1 person company with no employees, do you really think I'm storing that much stuff? Clearly I'm not.

anyone can home school...EQUAL OPPERTUNITY
anyone can go to any private school..no districting...equal oppertunity
the real question is why do liberals push anti freedom agenda
Do you mean like Obama who sends his kids to private school AND the vast majority of dems in Congress.
If THEY think public school is so good, why don't they send their kids to the local public schools.
Post fail.
Actually liberals are worse in this regard than conservatives. Instead of just giving parents school choice, they prefer to protect the teacher unions and give them even more money...while sending their own kids to private schools. They're not called limousine liberals for nothing.

There ya go. The school system is so horrid that many with time and/or money are pulling their kids out or moving to exclusive areas if they stay with public schools. Then they all turn a blind eye to the inner cities.
It is not a conservative/progressive thing but something parents who are active in their child's education and want the best when they live in a bad school district thing.
There is equal opportunity as any parent is still free to make the same choices for his/her child.
Actually, not true. Some parents cannot afford to send their kids to the better schools and therefore have to educate them in inferior ones.

When you're working all day at a crappy low wage job, you can't home school your kid and you certainly can't send your kid to a private school unless your kid is good enough to get a full scholarship.
I was #2 in my class and got a 50% scholarship (the school had a few 50% scholarships provided by alumni) to a parochial high school, but obviously the vast majority of kids don't have that option.
And yes, liberals are to blame for denying more options for school choice.
Who is our current president? Equal opportunity exists.
Yeah..........that certainly means things are A-OK now.
