In my younger days I used to sympathise with this ideology. That will be 1960's. I studied Russian.
Then I found out that in USSR the disparity between highest paid person and lowest paid person was 50 times. Whereas in USA it was only 20 times. I lost faith quickly.
Then I migrated to USA.
 
Illustrating Equality VS Equity

IISC has long believed that this image, illustrating the difference between equality and equity, is worth a thousand words. As a gift to the world of equity practitioners, IISC engaged artist Angus Maguire to draw a new version of an old favorite (since we could only find pixelated versions of the original). Please feel free to download the high-resolution image and use in your presentations.

Cynthia Silva Parker was quoted by Sustainable Cities Network in an article: Infusing Equity into the Urban Planning Process.
What is equity? In the simplest terms, it means fairness, which is not necessarily the same thing as equality.
It’s not about everybody getting the same thing,” Parker said. “It’s about everybody getting what they need in order to improve the quality of their situation.”
One difficulty in including equity goals in planning is that the people who need them most can be hard to involve. Traditionally, planners involve stakeholders by inviting them to public meetings and asking them to read and comment on plans. This can be a time-consuming process, and people who work multiple jobs and lack transportation and child-care options are unlikely to show up at the library for a three-hour meeting.
And even if they’re able to offer their time, they may not be willing.
“Trust is the No. 1 thing, ‘Why are you asking, and will it make a difference,’” Parker said. “When we got started, there was a bit of interesting community jargon: ‘Planning Fatigue.’ People were tired of being asked to come to meetings, asked to share their vision, asked to draw another picture of a beautiful community, and then nothing is going to happen, or it’s going to take 15 years and they’re going to say, ‘We don’t even remember that we were part of that.'”

On a side note all these three people are watching the game without paying to sit in the stadium, so that in itself is wrong and may be unethical. LOL:ohwell::nono:

Imo, the interpretation should be:

- The tall guy is able to, without any outside assistance, watch the game. It could be a parallel to availability of resources (wealth) with an individual to take care of all needs.
- The guy of medium stature needs just a little upliftment to watch the game. It is a parallel to availability of resources but not at the level desired.
- The short guy cannot see the game unless there is significant assistance available. It is a parallel to lack of resources with an individual.
 
I relate this picture in a different manner...This is the basis for all the support to Reservations in Educational Institutions & Jobs..But sad part is the small boy who is given a big stool continues to get the stool after he grows..So he gets undue advantage and overtakes even the tall guy who is without any support (Read FC's )... Even after making social advancement we are providing the support to the so called under privileged which makes the entire reservation a mockery of justice!!

Quite right, Ganesh, You said it!

Providing an equal opportunity or equity should be to enable the tall guy, or short guy or the guy of medium stature to be able to *become the star striker or the bowler* if these guys have talent (after talent search or discovery) so that their lives are uplifted*.

But providing the the foot rests of different sizes are ALL that the present day governments do in the name of socialism. A moment's reflection will disclose that providing foot-rests of different sizes will only increase the social expenditure on a steep curve over a period of time (without any mechanism to roll back the social expenditure) and people clamoring only for more comfortable foot rests.

Provision of foot rests of different sizes should be reserved for physically disabled and/or challenged persons and differently abled persons.

The wooden partitions also tell a different story.

First and foremost the "talent" (that of the pitcher and the striker in the baseball game) should be nurtured and should be commercially exploitable, so that the government gets the resources to be able to provide the foot rests, which the communists and socialists blandly refuse to accept.

The wooden partition, unevenly cut with gaps at the sides etc. reflect the limited social expenditure budget available and the government's aim should be to raise the infrastructure available rather than be over focussed on the different sizes of foot rests.

Third and the most important, the more the free loaders are allowed, the less the number of paying spectators and less the revenue for the government to increase its social reach.
