Forcing people to share their wealth so that everyone has equal economic opportunities too is hard to apply in reality. If you’re born smarter than the average person, does that mean you should work harder and do something that’s very challenging and yet you obtain the same salary as everyone else? To be honest, it makes some degree of sense because you should be willing to contribute everything you do to the good of society and it’s just “lucky” (or rather “unlucky”) that you have to try harder than everyone else. However, a person would only be willing to do this if, like you said, all people are virtuous in that they all want the same goal, which is a condition that can never be met as well.
