Isto faz-me lembrar uma história

Excerto imperdível de uma entrevista a Gordon Brown - que pode ser lida na íntegra no site da Fabian Society -, onde relata um diálogo ocorrido num encontro entre Ronald Reagan e Olaf Palme:

'You know, there’s this great story, of Olaf Palme going to see Ronald Reagan in America, and Olaf Palme was the great Swedish social democratic Prime Minister, leading the campaigns against poverty and inequality, and he went to see Ronald Reagan in the White House. Before he saw Ronald Reagan, Reagan turned to his advisors, and he said, ‘Isn’t this man a Communist?’ And Ronald Reagan’s advisors said, 'No, Mr President, he’s an Anti-Communist'. And Ronald Reagan said, 'I don’t care what kind of Communist he is'.
But Ronald Reagan asked Olaf Palme, ‘What do you really believe? Do you believe in abolishing the rich?’ And he said, ‘No, I believe in abolishing the poor.’
