Sorry, I did not mean Poland. I was hoping you would reference the U.S. when making your comparisons since, I assume, this is your home now.

I already made a comparison between USA generous land grants and other redistribution programs which helped to create prosperous and large middle class with the Latin American model.

Government largesse did not create the middle class in this country. That's not our history.

Expat-panama made the statement that Poor people tend to believe that the only way to get rich is by taking money from others, and rich people believe is the only way to get rich is by making something that people want and selling it to them."

This is a true statement. Yet you decided to go off on a Latin American tangent. Instead of using Latin American oligarchies as an example, why not refer to people and businesses within our own country?
