Amos, it is your insistence that effort can make you rich that betrays you as right of centre. It simply isn't so. If it were, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. It's part of the mantra of the rich to define the poor as inferior. Pretty well all of the USA is so far to the political right of the rest of the world that you don't see it.

Ake as usual betrays the fact that the closest he gets to socialism is national socialism, with his preference that the poor should starve and persons of different skin colour and religion should be cast beyond the pale.
