Please go to China and talk to people with no rights but lots and lots of dough because their land/houses got confiscated by the commies in order to build high rises, freeways, high-speed train tracks or whatever the Nazi government has conjured up. They are literally the envy of the young generation because they no longer have to work (that IMHO is indeed a problem). But alas they don't have rights whereas homeless people in San Francisco can defecate freely and indulge themselves in needles basking in the democratic sun.

Make no mistake I'm a staunch supporter of democracy and freedom and despise the fact that China is lacking in both probably as much as you do. But please get your facts straight and refrain from using your imagination to comment on a country you most likely have never been to.
