Equal sharing of miseries

This spring I visited my Mother and family in the UK. While there, Sally and I toured Chartwell, Winston Churchill's home. In the nearby town, there was a pub/restaurant down a little alleyway and on the walls of the alley in faux graffiti style were a number of quotes from Churchill including this which is a perfect example of his remarkable ability to cut to the heart of the matter.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
