豊かになることが sentence construction
> 「能力{のうりょく}のある人や努力{どりょく}した人 **が** 豊{ゆた}かになること **が**
> 本当{ほんとう}の平等{びょうどう}というものだろう。」

To comprehend the reason for the double-が, you will need to analyze the
sentence grammatically.

What is the grammatical subject of this sentence? It is 「能力のある人や努力した人 **が**
豊かになること」. Yes, the subject itself is a mini-sentence that is nominalized by
「こと」.

Since the subject is a nominalized mini-sentence, it just so happens that it
contains a が within itself. That is the **_first が_** in the whole sentence.

That rather long subject must now take the subject marker, which is the
**_second が_**. Thus the core structure of this sentence is:

> "A が B だろう。" = "A would be B."

A (subject): 能力のある人や努力した人が豊かになること "that those who have abilities or have made
efforts become wealthy/successful"

B (predicate): 本当の平等というもの "what should be called 'true equality'"

Hope this helps.
