My own Modest Proposal

In order to appease the grievances (more like whiney pleas)  of our political leaders, I have devised my own modest proposal to further equality in this world. Ask a liberal on the street what they see as the gravest social injustice, and they will, without hesitance, describe the "unequal playing field" perpetrated economically and beyond.I have devised a plan in order to cure society of this plague perpetually. 
Look around. If there are no people around you, go outside, look at people on the internet (school appropriate) or invite some friends over. What is the first thing you notice about this person? They have all of their limbs. Four limbs, all to one person -- when there are people out there who weren't born so lucky. How our society could ever be so discriminatory I don't pretend to understand. All I know is that we must act now, in order to alleviate this injustice and regain social order. 
The solution to this problem is clear: in order to level the playing field, we must deprive those lucky bastards with 4 limbs of one of their extra ones by physically extracting it, and transplanting it onto those who could never earn their own limbs. To create a better, and more equal world, this playing field must be leveled. After all, that's what justice is all about, right? Everyone being exactly the same... Having the same resources, opportunities, and certainly number of body parts. 
So citizens, the next time you look down at yourself and see your four limbs, please -- don't discard the immense guilt you feel, knowing that you are depriving your fellow citizen of the same experience.
