Gee, can we draw any parallels here? i.e. The old Soviet Union, Cuba, Zimbabwe, et al.


Huh?



for an easy example, you might study up on why DC and its surrounding counties have been immune from the current six year recession, and experienced constant income growth and booming real estate prices.


You're not full of turkey already, are you counselor?

I'm pointing out the illogical construction of:

No one has their standard of living raised.

The elite, political, or whatever, remains the same or more often have their standards raised substantially.

So...does no one have their standard raised, or does the elite have their standard raised? It can't be both.
