I’m intrigued how that one panel denotes so clearly ‘equity’?

From this perspective the only equity is the one in the Harrison Bergeron mode.

Why is it ‘fair and impartial’ to provide one side with a 30% ladder advantage? If the cartoony dude on the right bought the ladder himself, no sweat. If not I find it somewhat grotesque that the great society has to pay for that ‘extra ladder’.

My take on this is that one supposes that it is ‘equitable’ that I should get another 30k a month to atone for that disparity between those having a skill as a thoracic surgeon and my fumble fingers. Sure sounds in that version of equity portrayed in that cartoon....
