Wealth redistribution has never worked. The best system (capitalism) is imperfect but beats the hell out of the utopia you seem to imagine can be found elsewhere. You have to wonder why countries like Hungary, Czech Republic and Latvia aren't hard at work trying to recreate the Soviet dream.
Western Europe has 36% higher living standards then America
so if never working you mean increasing living standards you'd be correct
I thanked you because you seem desparately to want something you don't deserve. I can afford to be charitable but don't push it.
Statistics mean nothing. Have you ever lived in what the French call an HLM?
