"A few"? You mean the sensational expansion of wealth which spread down through all the classes in Great Britain in the 19th century didn't really happen?
"All classes"? Really? Why are there still poor people in Great Britain if that "sensational expansion of wealth" spread through all classes? I think you engaging in a bit of hyperbole. You know most of that expansion stayed with the upper classes, just like it does in the United States (and other capitalist countries).
Apart from a statistically tiny number of individuals in the population as a whole, we don't have any "poor people" in the UK anymore than you have in the USA. To use the word 'poor' to describe people with a roof over their head, a bed, a TV, a mobile 'phone, food and government handouts is to gang-bang the meaning of the word 'poor'! 'Impoverished', possibly, but 'poor' - nah! Go to Africa, you'll find the really poor there!
Spoken like a true right-winger -- that anyone with a bed, a TV, and a phone can't be poor. It's a lot easier to define away poverty than to actually do something about it, isn't it?

Indeed they can, or at least, might, but only so long as they keep well away from state socialism!
ReplyDeleteActually, there's a better chance for everyone under a socialism than a capitalism (which only rewards a few).
