According to the ex-minister, he tried, but never found examples where two-thirds of the population of a country goes for subsidies.
“A subsidy is a good thing, a civilized mechanism for helping the poor from the state,” says Aleksey Kucherenko. “But if two-thirds of the population recognize themselves as low-income, then this is a much more global problem and, as they say, this is actually a revolutionary situation, that is, a recognition that people cannot support themselves without the help of the state.”
