Better some people are poor than everybody is poor, which tends to be the result of putting leftists in charge.

The upper class Cubans in Florida want their plantations and slaves in Cuba back, is that a reasonable tradeoff so some people aren't poor?
> Better some people are poor than everybody is poor
Well, technically it's only better for the few that are not poor, for all of the others, it's the same. It's even probably worse because rich people in a country with mostly poor people tend to be very efficient with capturing most of the value produced by the others.
How large is your ideal value of "some"?
Typically this translates into everybody below me on the social ladder.
