In my country you *have* to buy jobs (ie bribe people), and then when you get one you only get one out of three salaries :(

I can confirm this, also being a politician means no education is required and you get to take anything you like, also having cousins in important places is more valued than actually knowing how to do your job
What country is this?

Bosnian, right? Sneak in through Canada somewhere west of Lake Superior. You'll fit in nicely with all the Swedes and Norwegians as a more or less white guy with a funny accent.

It always amaze me how he most fervent partisans of capitalism in the us seems to be the lows classes.
How did they achieve that? Seriously Nikov, shouldn't you be socialist or something? Capitalism obviously failed you.
It's very surprising for me, given that here, Poor are voting left, and rich right, as it should be.

Why would I want to be socialist? So I could take from the rich? Become a thief?

... no, I mean, socialism, as established here is far from that.
I'm by no mean a specialist, but the idea as a whole is that society is a machinery that must be designed for the good of the poeple.
Therefore, if someone want a job and can't find one, he get a small salary, anyone that wish to study pay very little university fee, preferably payable by almost any parents, or if their parent are very poor, no fee at all and a small grant.
For instance, I pay 837 euros for a year, about 1000 $ and that's full price .
It's of course particularly profitable for the poorest, and less so for the rich, though no one is sure to be always rich.
So someone poor, should probably favor this system.

You're right, I should become a revolutionary and seek to abolish all private property and throw bombs around because I imagine I deserve more than what I work for.

And Phmcw, what country do you live in?
