Yep. Which means to help those things along, not guarantee them.

Equality of opportunity doesn't mean equality of result.

In my
opinion, those blessings include a decent living and a fair share in the
benefits of this country for all Americans (not just the wealthy).

I agree!

Now how should the govt. go about promoting that? We've already talked about
reducing immigration to increase demand for workers, thereby decreasing
unemployment and increasing pay/benefit packages.

The law of supply and demand says that higher prices will be the result of such
a move.

What else should be done?
