Because some people are STUPID.
And some aren't.
There are markers associated with alcoholism; alcoholics metabolize it
differently. The Fins did FMRI brain scans on their most violent
prisoners, and found a constricted neural pathway from the limbic system
to the prefrontal lobes. When emotionally aroused, prefrontal activity
declines dramatically.
Hominids evolved in small groups. Shamen and Witches raised the kids of
the incompetent because they might have the markers for good immune
responses to pandemics. Some therefore have the liberal instinct to want
to take care of others.
The good news is that there's a new In Vitro Test; they can determine
which zygotes are viable, and only implant one. Like in the womb of a
welfare queen. If the taxpayers are going to support the bastards
anyway, they may as well give the women more promising kids to start
with, turning a liability into an asset.
The same reason as why some people are fat, others muscular.
Why some are blonde, and some are brunette.
Only in the eyes of the law are people created equal. In reality,
this has never been so, never will be.
Some will be born capable of becoming a brain surgeon, some will be
born incapable of changing a tire.
There's no rhyme or reason to it. No greater purpose. No great
plan. No unfairness. It just IS.
Just as some people will be born capable of grasping reality, while
others will ask "Why are people different?".
You say that life's not fair? I wonder what your basis for comparison
is?
