Merit
I support empowering opportunity: Which mean I support a primarily meritocratic market-based system, with a combination of a balanced (cautionary and reform) and somewhat more limited equality of opportunity with a Merit based opportunity system where parents are heavily encouraged or maybe even incentivized to raised their children like Dinesh D’souza raised his child and to promote better education so the child has the best tools they need to get a fair chance (but a fairer chance than in a pure Merit Based Opportunity system since there would Equality of Opportunity, albeit a somewhat more limited version of it).
This would also include a Equitability of Outcome based on the Fairness Model but also heavily encouraging entitleds to counteract the Equitability (meaning if one worker goads the boss into everyone getting more pay but all being equal, then another worker who was the highest paid worker before this Fairness model Equitability of Opportunity was put in place then would ask for their own salary to be raised so they can be the highest worker again instead and so on)
The above system would have safety nets from forms of socially liberal neutered Socialism which are fairer, more just and more equal than other forms of Socialism to give some security and dignity to people who fall onto hard times, regardless if they are most talented and abled workers in our society.
However in times of major economic depressions (like the Great Depression), the system would switch to just the Merit Based Opportunity System mentioned above, with something reminiscent of Social Democracy welfare safety net for laid off or fired workers and incentives for them to take lesser jobs during said depressions.
