    That's good. The only way to make us all equal, is to make us all poor.

    Fred114. That is truly horrendous. This could be the sort of chart graphics that Labour should use in their press releases. As the video says, it's not full-blown socialism that's needed, just a leaning in that direction, to redress some of the massive imbalance. How did the top 1% get to that position? Not by paying their share of taxes.

    Belgarion, shame on you for suggesting we all buy some MRP shares. My other half is interested, even after seeing my dismal efforts with shares. You're probably both boringly correct.

    A cynical observer might mention that if you spent less time "National bashing/baiting" and more time working on "your dismal efforts with shares" you might actually improve your performance but avoidance of the real issues is a common fault among many of us ..so dont feel too bad.

    Many thanks once again for your acerbic wit BB. You brighten up most threads you have a go at. Maybe I should have said "dismal but not irrecoverable efforts"..which is my position on shares, one of several investments.

    Regarding National baiting: two points,

    (1) Yes, the right-thinking person is as easy to bait as any,
    (2) I post my real opinions formed over time. Borne out by the reality we can see all around us.

    BB, you're sparking on all eight cylinders :-)

    Hugo Chavez is dead, a sad event, now the NZ Labour Party will never be able to draft him in as leader...

    Still, there's always Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of Argentina - ;-)

    No doubt EZ and PtC regard them as wonderfully accomplished socialist leaders....

    Major von Tempsky why Judge others by your own biased thoughts about other people. There are both left & right biased idiots that live in dream worlds like yours.

    That was sarcasm in case you missed it.. BB's V8 is perhaps more a clapped-out conversation piece.

    Hugo Chavez had some good points, and in the fullness of time a bit of scepticism regarding the USA's place in the world, might be a good idea. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/fea...134071641.html

    Talking about political engines...here is an image of David Shearer at the recent Labour party conference. EZ you will no doubt recognise the feeling.

    "The top 1% own 40% of the wealth" As the video showed, the American perception of inequality was far from the actual distribution. In other words, "To make us all equal" is far closer to what is actually possible, than "to make us all poor". There exists within capitalism some sense of worth for human life. It only remains to be explained how poor Americans get by with so little money.
