I've noticed something over the last few decades: that when we read the history of many of the leaders of many socialist or socialistic organizations, many of them appear to have been raised with a silver spoon. I sometimes wonder if that contributes to many of their ideas being so out of touch with the daily reality of the poor whom they supposedly want to help.
