[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5307306, member: 48469"] Under your preferred system almost everyone gets to be poor! Awesome! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1990/05/20/millions-of-soviet-lives-pervaded-by-poverty/01fa67ab-7d05-483c-958c-21fc1db4e970/[/URL] MILLIONS OF SOVIET LIVES PERVADED BY POVERTY May 20, 1990 "For decades we were striving to translate into life the idea of universal equality," economist Anatoli Deryabin wrote in the official journal Molodoi Kommunist. "So what have we achieved after all these years? Only 2.3 percent of all Soviet families can be called wealthy, and about 0.7 of these have earned that income lawfully . . . . About 11.2 percent can be called middle-class or well-to-do. "The rest, 86.5 percent, are simply poor. What we have is equality in poverty." [/QUOTE]
