I can't disagree with this, but I just want to point out that it's the case in several European countries, and in practice it does work quite well. For most purposes the parasites are irrelevant, and it would be more trouble than it's worth to get rid of them on purely idealogical grounds. -- Jeremy R1200RT

It's the shape that he's got wrong. What he's described is, in fact, a pretty good shape for a Societ Russian type of structure. The UK, and pretty much most <waves hands vaguely> developed wealthy democraciies have a sort of rugby ball shape. A few people right at the top, gradually swelling out into the mass of middle class middle-income people, and then narrowing to the small minority of utter scumbags at the bottom. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
