Land of the free

I believe it is more important to treat everyone equal than it is to treat everyone fair for many reasons. Treating everyone equal means they all have the same opportunities and same laws and regulations as the next person no matter race, wealth, religion, or ethnic background. If everyone is equal you could not really complain about life being difficult if you had all the same opportunities and abilities as everyone else. Treating everyone fair means that everyone is going to be treated at least as well as a base starting point, but some people would be treated much better than others and same the other way around. Also treating people fair means that you could be treated horrible but if certain groups are treated that way then you would be allowed to be treated that way for no reason. I think its more important for everyone to be treated equal rather than fair because if everyone is equal no one can complain really or be upset about much of anything. Also if everyone is equal more people will be happier than if they were just treated fair. That is why equality is better than fairness in America.
