A slight over complication of a simple principle. If we were to apply the "greatest commandment" the majority of the inequalities would fall by the wayside. Love your creator with all your being and love your neighbor as yourself. The issue lies in the problem where people want to better their own existence and claim to be doing so for others as well with the use of forced thievery.

"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."

~ Frederic Bastiat in "The Law"

Also a long read - four parts, but the information found within is timeless. Dating back to 1850. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/the-law-2024
