If only people learned history. Look at the comprehensive list of hyperinflations in modern history. Every single one happened under leftist rule of the country [1]. Look at Venezuela, Cuba or any other very leftist state. There's always a rich elite, and a poor underclass.

If only people would learn that its socialistic policies that make the rich richer and the poor poorer! Capitalism (voluntary trade and respect for private property) has always improved everyone's lives. What we need is a transition to more capitalism not less of it. If we keep implementing leftist policies that sound nice (like min wage, 'free' education, 'free' healthcare, etc) we'll end up poor like all the other socialist countries before us. It's time to actually have compassion on the poor and create opportunities through capitalism.
