The Usurper:  Draw your own conclusions on the facts I shared.  But they are facts.  I've asked this before but never got an answer so I'll try again.  There is no system with a better track record for helping bring people out of situations of poverty like the system of free enterprise.  Can you point to even one system where this is not true?  It's certainly true in America and the facts support that.  Even the poor in the USA have riches that the world's poor only dream of.  Redistributing wealth has never worked.  But apparently you know better than the experts.  So where has a system as you describe it worked to create your utopia?
