That's interesting, si++, you're right about it not being fair that there are such huge discrepancies between the haves and havenots. Though it's perfectly understandable some people are better-off than others, I'd rather live in a society where the social minimum provides for all your needs. Hold on, actually, I do live in such country

It also shows how capitalism works -rich get richer, poor get poorer.

But also in communist states, there are plenty of rich people who have achieved that at the expense of their countrymen and USSR as it was suddenly spings to mind and also China, by not letting their countrymen "think" for themselves! And what about Chaucescu in Romania, Amelda Marcos and her shoes?
