An inherent flaw

I've been thinking on the U.S. and its problems (I know I know big surprise).  And I was wondering if much of the problems of today are due to an inherent flaw in the basic premises of our country.  That being, that we are all created equal.  The cold hard truth is that we are not.  We are not all equal in intelligence, opportunities, or physical prowess (which is to bad cause ole Sargent Gym would have had some bad ass pick up games in our days).  How do we correct for this I don't know, that will take more thinking and hopefully some responses from my other partners in excellence of this blog.
