   Just to be entirely contradictory here:

   Finland runs on exactly this principle. And the result is actual
classlessness, everyone in good affordable housing, no homeless, low
unemployment, incredibly low crime, and the best public transport /
services I've ever seen.

   If the socialists have a blind spot, how do you explain Finland?

   Drew.
