Sarcasm, yes I think I've heard of that...

I never said anything about equality of outcome, but I'm all for equality of opportunity. And if it means stomping on a few privileged heads to stop stomping on millions of non-privileged heads - I'm all for it.

If you really think dictatorships are about equality of outcome then you're sorely mistaken. You don't need dictatorships for poverty. You just need any government and unfairness and they go hand in hand.

Life is not fair and never will be. Yet not all countries are poverty stricken dictatorships. It takes more than unfairness, it takes a "revolution" of people demanding government make everything fair.

Income inequality is healthy for an economy right up to the point where the lower class become too jealous for having not advanced as quickly. Then it turns ugly. The thing is, they're far better off with the inequality. It's far better to be poor in a rich country than poor in a poor country.
