400 million people have been lifted out of desperate poverty in China since it changed it's economic policies to become more market oriented. You and your ilk would consign those people to living on less than $1.00/day.
This reminds me of the star fish story...the conservative version and the lefty version.....
Conservative version...
A woman is walking on the beach...she sees the tide has gone out and thousands of star fish are stranded and dying on the beach....another woman is throwing starfish back into the ocean. The first woman says, "you can't save all of these star fish." The other woman says "I know....but I can save this one, and this one....and this one....."
The lefty version......
A left wing woman is walking on the beach...she sees the tide has gone out and thousands of star fish are stranded and dying on the beach....another woman, a conservative, is throwing starfish back into the ocean. The left wing woman says, "you can't save all of these star fish." The other woman says "I know....but I can save this one, and this one....and this one....." At which point the left wing woman screams at the top of her lungs "If you can't save all of them, you can't save any of them...." and proceeds to violently assault the conservative woman......to keep her from saving any of the star fish.....
The end...........
(Of course, the conservative woman has a concealed carry permit...she draws her weapon and holds the raging left wing woman at gun point till the police arrive and take the nut job into custody)
The end...again....
