Money was set aside to provide every student who needed a computer with one and the city continues to work on providing internet access. The city is doing this because students are entitled to an education.

There is no taking from someone else. If a high income school has already provided its students with a computer, why would they need funds to buy a second computer for its students? It wouldn't. So that money goes to a school who does.
There is ALWAYS taking from someone else. Funds don't magically appear and are never limitless. If NYC "set aside" money as you mentioned... where did it come from?? SOMEONE is paying for that.

You also ignore why the high income school had that computer to begin with... they contributed more. It's the same reason the low income school doesn't have that computer, they've contributed less. So even with your example, you end up with people getting something they didn't work or pay for.

And there SHOULD BE "income inequality". The United States is a capitalist country, everyone makes different amounts of money based on NUMEROUS factors. As an example, people DO NOT work equally, invest equally or create equally, they are NOT equally talented or able, nor do they all share the same intelligence... so in what deluded world should they EARN equally and all have the same?

The United States is THE bastion of opportunity and success where ANYONE can improve their life and make something more of themselves if they so choose.
The absolute truth is that success and well being reside with the individual and their choices, not society.
