The golden rule of communism: He who has the gold makes the rules

About the same for about every form of government ever tried. Do you really think the leaders live the same lifestyle as the common slobs regardless of what form of government you prefer?

Most forms of government sound great in theory, though they aren't always so great in practice. I do know I would rather be one of the masses in a country where our poor drive to the welfare office to pick up their welfare check in a cadilac so they can pick up a case of beer on their way home, pop it in the fridge, warm up a snack in the microwave and kick back and decide which one of the 150 channels i want to watch the latest mindless entertainment that is being offered on the color tv.
