    Default Wealth inequality in Russia is one of the highest and this is what the right wants

    ...for the USA

    Gap between rich & poor in Russia among world's biggest

    A report by Credit Suisse says 35 percent of Russian household wealth is controlled by just 110 billionaires. Worldwide, billionaires collectively account for 1 to 2 percent of the total wealth.

    “Russia has the highest level of wealth inequality in the world, apart from small Caribbean nations with resident billionaires,” Credit Suisse’s annual global wealth report says.

    According to the study there’s one billionaire for every $11 billion in household wealth in Russia. This compares to one billionaire per $170 billion in the rest of the world.

    An earlier report by Forbes showed the number of billionaires in Russia has increased 13-fold since the turn of the century – from eight in 2000 to 110 people in 2013.

    The huge wealth gap is a “parody” of the hopes for a prosperous egalitarian society that some had after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Wealth inequality in Venezuela is one off the charts, and this is what the left wants.

    If someone puts in 10,000 x as much effort to get where they are, why shouldn't they make 10,000 x as much as a schlub that did nothing?

    All you wanted between 2009 - 2017 was to be the first in the kiss the black boy's ass line. It's what you've been since you were born.

    In the U. S. CA, NY, LA and CT are the states with the highest inequality. Is this what the left wants?

    Pretty obvious...isn't it? Western establishment is nurturing this as well. Mueller and Comey knew about the Russian mafia's intent and the head of the Russkie mafia was taken off the 10 most wanted list in 2015. WTF?

    Socialism begets oligarchy.

    Russia is a perfect example.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
