The problem for living together in societies is to find the most efficient set of property rights to maximize general welfare.

it isn't a problem at all. private property is not communal. nor does it have anything to do with the general welfare.
do you actually have a point or just more platitudes?

also the general welfare has nothing to do with private property. it is a charge of government not the individual.

I suspect you have never checked the distribution of income and Gini for the Eu, have you. Or compared the average incomes across the continent with the poverty line in say Germany? Or the poverty line in Bavaria with the average income in Mecklenburg?

You are just tying to seed discontent by spreading selective and so false information.

I have, and I have posted it here many a time:

No, I have never done the above. And I am not about to do it either.

The comparison between the Gini Coefficient and average incomes is irrelevant. The Gini is already devised from income statistics and employed to show Income Disparity (as in the chart above) ...

Yep. My mother had one with Aetna. In constant dollars it was as expensive at 70 as it had been, when she was 25. the cost did increase somewhat as the treatments became better.

Are you asserting that her premium increases did not exceed general inflation over a 50 year period? If so, when and where did this miracle occur?
