Yup—saw that one a while ago. Good adaptation. There was also a HB movie, but I didn’t like it very much.

The price of perfect equality is that people are worth nothing.

Brilliant call. Beat me to it.
The price of perfect equality is the office of the Handicapper General.

Completely Regulated Equality is Communism.
Partially regulated Equality is Socialism.
The problem with regulating anything is that the Regulators are more equal than those they Regulate.
For example: Labor Unions, EPA; DOJ. NSA, IRS, etc.

What Is the Price of Perfect Equality? Bare subsistence economy is the price as Perfect Equality comes at less than functional ́80 IQ.

"The Reason given is, that riches give power to those who possess them, and that those who possess power, will always abuse it to the oppression of others." How did Robin Williams use his riches to oppress? Anticapitalist socialists engage in too much greed and envy.
