In fact, the most frustrating parts of living in Europe where this is not the case, is that too many things here are targeted at the poor because they make the majority of purchasing power due to forced equality of outcomes we have here in EU. Start with airlines. Nowhere in the world are the airlines so terrible as in the EU - not even in the very poor countries like India, or most African ones. Yes they are cheap, and affordable for everyone, but virtually all of the premium segment has been eaten alive and ceased to exist altogether, or became a joke (google "euro business class"). Seriously, forced equality of outcomes have been tried in the Soviet Union. Have the results been forgotten?
