>Also, rich people like going to cafes and restaurants I wouldn't use restaurants as some example of progressive and egalitarian labor. They're the number one source of black market labor today, let alone what would happen if you double these wages. >I know which one I prefer living in! The countries with the terrible disparities in living are usually the ones that flirted with communism in the past and are largely socialist and anti-free market today. They put in these policies which caused depressed entrepreneurial activities, lack of free markets, heavy corruption, etc and have a legacy of poverty from these failed leftist policies. More leftist policies aren't the solution here (see: Greece). >(Brazil vs Germany) New data shows Germany is not egalitarian. In fact, its the worst in the EU. Earlier this year, the German Economic Institute (DIW) had released a study indicating that contrary to common conceptions, Germany had the most unequal distribution of wealth in the eurozone. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/23/wealth-gap-ineq... |
