You have socialized medicine, YES? NO?.,Most of your people are on subsidies YES? NO?. Your unemployment stands at 11.9% or in some poles 14% Yes? NO?.
What about the subsidies for GREEN ENERGY. A Joke YES? NO?. As on and so forth. We here in the US have close to the same problem. A bunch of liberals have decided how everybody should live.
Capitalism works. It will make those rich richer, it will make those not rich, rich and it will bring up those from poverty and with nothing to prosperity. It actually narrows the gap between the rich and poor. Example: years ago in 1950's only the rich owned TVs. Now almost everyone has a TV and an even bigger crowd (including people in poverty) has a cell phone.
Have a good day :>)

Not sure about your analogy between the rich and the poor, the gap has ever been widening, the Rich get richer whilst the Poor get poorer, simply saying that it isn't the case because everybody owns a TV or a Cell phone is ridiculous, people now own these things across all demographics because Mass Production that wasn't proficient in the 1950's has enabled this items to be retailed at relatively low costs when compared to the equivalent cost of the 1950's... that kinda blows your argument outta the water..
Gap between Executive Pay and the Average workers pay has never been bigger than it is now, ask the common man on the street who hasn't had an above inflation rise for the last 8 years and see what he thinks about it... where the average executive has gained more than 15% wage rises across the same period.. well above the inflation rate by about 7 times..
We have the largest amount of people ever having to resort to using Food Banks because their wages or their benefits cannot keep up with food inflation..
The only reason these Pay Day lendors such as Wonga are thriving is because the Poor people, benefits, and Low earners cannot make it through the month, if we did not have such a huge Rich Poor divide the Pay Day lenders would not exist..
That is society today, you can put your head in the sand and say that it doesn't exist, but it does...
That is what Capitalism is doing for this country, and that is why most parents have to both go out to work, and leave their kids for 12 hours a day from birth with nannies, strangers or minders, or if they are lucky with Grand Parents, that my friend is the breakdown of the family unit...
I do not know what the answer is, nothing seems to work, Socialism, Capitalism...
My Girlfriend is Polish, and her Family have said that Poland was better under Communism, than the society that they have now associated with the west, they had money, they had a job they had a purpose, unfortunately Communisim was also very restrictive with regards to freedom of speech, but hey, we have freedom of speech, and we have kids killing themselves over being Cyber Bullied, is it that good really...
My Girlfriend thinks the Ukrainians are mad for wanting to get closer ties to the west, she says it has wrecked Poland...
