5. That chart is complete and utter drivel

created by a political mindset that is invested in capitalism as the penultimate economic model for a society and that is all it reflects. An ordering of people based on consenting to be robbed in the guise of preserving their freedoms is the great lie. Remove religion from it . We need to disabuse ourselves of the notion that the consent of a people to share resources with equity is tyrannical and the flipside notion that the every man is the king of his own island held by libertarians is freedom. The human condition is more nuanced than this chart presents and the authors of this chart are clearly inside the box.
