Didnt the Russioans believe is distributing wealth. How did that go for them??

Socialism is a failed ideology whether you look at Cuba, Russia or more recently Venezuela. who are these ordinary working people. Teachers doctors nurses etc have complained a lot recently but they had protected jobs and income during the worst of times when private sector lost jobs and actually had pay cuts ( i personally experienced this!) . In recent years public have done slighlty better than private when taking into acount auotmatic band increases/increments ( which nurses don't mention) and gold plated pensions. The majority of us will still have to work till we are 68. Retiring in the 50s is a pipe dream. Oh and very very few in the private sector get these so called huge bonuses before you trot that one out as a defence. In the city maybe elsewhere, nope.
