Dan:
: This is where I have the largest problem with "your" theory. Everyone does not deserve the same amount of money. All work is not equally valued and all levels of effort should not be equally rewarded.

EC:
And to this I agree wholeheartedly. And the idle rich do the least amount of work! Those who do the most work deserve the most reward. In a system based on greed and idleness (i.e. capitalism), priveledged people require others to work for them, and syphon off the largest share of their labor.

Dan:
Explain why Castro is well fed while the rest of his country is starving in a communist country!

EC:
I don't know that this is true, as the only source I've ever had access to is commercial television and official US press releases. Some on this board have disputed your above statement. But IF it is true, then the people of Cuba need to organize a democratic socialistic system that eliminates fat cats, of the corporate, governmental, militarist or any other type!
