"My limited experience concluded that we were greatly different only because our government was smart enough to share more of the wealth with the little people, nothing more. (Well maybe a little more) "

If you are not being sarcastic, you should be zotted on the spot.

"If you are not being sarcastic, you should be zotted on the spot."

I think you perhaps misunderstood the post. It was not one of praise for redistribution of wealth. It was I believe instead a posit that our federal government is a criminal corporation and that the main difference between the USA's government and that of the USSR is that the US form of corruption and seizure of the wealth of the citizenry is that the US form is more polished and viable, because it is actually smart enough to spread around enough of that ill-gotten gain to the mensch to keep a large percentage of them placid and dependent upon government largesse.

I had to read through the relevant comments in their entirety, and watch a ten minute video linked to by another poster in order to understand the context. itsahoot can of course correct me if I'm wrong in my interpretation.
