Yeah, I know, it is unintuitive, but it is the probably only really well-supported finding of socioeconomics ever.

You're right that first the basic necessities of life must be filled: income inequality in society means little until everyone has sufficient food and housing, but once they do it comes in to play. Even in poor countries like Cuba.
