I liked your posting. You put several question marks which means an eagerness to learn and this is good.

Plenty breeds honesty.
"HUH??????"

See please Maslow Pyramid.
Once you have plenty you have something to lose. This create a different breed of men. He doesn't want that system that provides plenty to be destroyed. It is an elevated man. Maslow Pyramid shown that as you growth up the ladder.

Altruism and nobility is way up the scale after lots of other goods have been delivered to the man.

Compare with the guy who's got nothing to lose. Compare to a system where there are only shirtless...

That's why civil servants and spies are well paid.
"SPIES????????

Spies can't be seen as earning too much money else the costs of using them skyrocket. Therefore what we know is that it always is a little that they get.
If I get precious information and I am earning little I have an incentive to sell to the other side.

Nope. Equality.
"Proof?

Correlate high taxation, low crime, low corruption. The system pays to an engineer just a little more than to a carpenter. Try to go there and tell them their system is not good. They won't accept your criticism. they like that way.

It is a third way as they call it: not capitalism savage not communism

The problem of people who go to school is that they think the answer are in the numbers. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Inflation rate can be manipulated because people believe in numbers.

Others are intimidated by numbers. Not so Elmat. The truth is in the depth. Not in the surface where the numbers are.

Very rich are very important. That's why the third way countries are not called communists. They love their super rich people. See please Wallenberg in Sweden. The oligarchs are needed. Their money are not reachable by the politicians that change every 4 years.

The SYSTEM is geared for equality. Thus the numbers don’t capture the essence of the concept.

now tell please those guys to go get some culture before they come to my thread.
"Which guys?"

You. See all your question marks being clarified above

Are you telling me to get off the thread? Say so.

I can’t tell you to go out of the thread. The thread has rules and as a person abiding to that rules you can post here as you see fit.
