CMV: Equality is inherently unfair. Fairness requires inequality

EDIT 1: These are the definitions from Google that I'm basing my comments on.  I also did my best to define/ expand upon what these words mean to me below.  This is what they mean to me.  It is ok if you have different definitions for these words, but I would like to talk about them in the context I am using them in below.    

 noun: **equality**

1. the state of being equal,

 noun: **fairness**

1.   impartial and just treatment or behavior without favoritism or discrimination.

As a society, we should be more focused on creating fairness instead of trying to create equality.

Our goal should be to create situations that are more fair, not more equal.  When you focus on creating equality, you are forced to create unfairness.

&#x200B;

Fairness is creating a set of rules for everyone to play by and this should be our goal.  The same rules apply to everyone.  Some people will play the game better than others and be more successful.

Equality is giving everyone a different set of rules based on their abilities so that they all produce the same end result.  This would be the equivalent of forcing one person to shoot a higher basketball goal than someone else to ensure the both scored the same amount of baskets.

&#x200B;

As a society, we should it is in our best interest to focus on creating fairness and we should understand that inequality is inherent and necessary in a system that is fair.  If we focus on creating a society that is more equal, we are inherently creating a society that is less fair in order to do so.

I think you have a poor definition of equality. Why does it have to force the same outcome? Who thinks that? Could equality not be just enforcing rules equally among everyone? Which means we have to address the power imbalance people have that allows some people to get away with breaking rules.

For example prisons are filled with poor people who couldn't get a decent lawyer or had no power or leverage. Yet many people who are rich and powerful break laws with little to no punishment given. Is that a fair society? Is that an equal society?

I think it comes down to economic power. You can't have equality or fairness while a few people can do anything and many people need to conform.
