Way too good to be true...
Great, more socialist attempts at class warfare. In reality, economic growth benefits poor people the most.
Oh noes, someone may have to come a bit closer to pulling one's own economic weight instead of stealing from others, which is what Welfare in fact is... The horror! The horror! :roll:
There are many other reasons why Eastern Europe was hit badly by the recession (which was caused by government interference, BTW). Correlation does not prove causation, especially with such a small data sample.
Better than many of its neighbors, actually, but only because their big bad government is so fragmented and dysfunctional. A corrupt and dysfunctional government can be less toxic to the economy than a functional one.
Yeah, sure, the world's most capitalist countries -- Hong Kong, Singapore, Ireland, etc -- are also the poorest. Brilliant. :roll:
You say it as if egoism is a bad thing, and not the driving force behind the human civilization...
Rich people don't have a "divine right" to initiate aggression - only the governments do.
LOL you should stop listening to Forbes and his crew. Flat tax is a horrible idea and will only benefit the rich..who funny enough are the ones proposing such idiotic policy.

Do the math and you will understand how flat tax hurts the low wage earners much more than it does the multi millionaires proposing such policies.

Flat tax nations in Europe are the worst off at the moment. Their whole economy is at near collapse due to lack of funds and their growth has all but vanished due to the drying up of credit. Some of those very countries are talking up to a 25% drop in GDP because of the crisis.

As for completely eliminate welfare.. move to Somalia and see how that is.

Countries without any safety net rank as some of the poorest and worst off on the planet.

It is a egotists dream [...]

[...] and all are basicly ruled by the gun and the rich. Is that how you vision your country?
