Which would you prefer to live in?

Which would you prefer to live in,

An oligarchy with rich 'robber barons' who make globs of money, but where there are few rules and you get to do your own thing. You even have a chance of becoming rich yourself.

Or...

A dictatorship of virtue where you are given all your basic needs by the government. You can have a job but most of what you produce is taxed away to provide for others. You have little or no chance of ever becoming rich and there are lots of rules and regulations you must obey.

So, which would you prefer to live in?

I'd prefer to live in a rational world where irrational thought experiments like yours do not exist.
