  5. <Honestly 30 years is still a short time to fix a civilization > Yet somehow Singapore and South Korea managed to go from poor to rich during that time. Ditto for Botswana.

  11. @Teeeheeeteeheee LOL.

  12. Scandinavia = capitalist welfare state. South Africa is run by the ANC showing its true colors and returning to its Marxist roots as the party was founded by some Soviet __ and was backed by the USSR during the Apartheid years.

  13. Blame the Portuguese government.

  16. <China is reaping the benefit and building up Afghanistans infrastructure> Only to claim ownership once Afghanistan is unable to repay the debt just like Sri Lanka.

  21.  @KarlSnarks  Okay, grifter!

  23. The beliefs of the Khmer Rouge weren't insane. It was just standard communist fare.

  24. Government intervention enabled investment companies as ordinary people got taxed and regulated out of the market leaving them to fill the void.

  25. Government regulations actually enabled the crisis as investors are the only entities who can afford to build and own property alongside put up with the government's BS.

  26.  @yt_nh9347  But at least Texas is solvent and can hold its own economically.

  28. The rich account for at least 70% of all taxes paid.

  33.  @julesjules5439  Judging by communism's "flattering" 104-year track record, the US is more than justified in vilifying communism. And not all communist societies were under sanctions or externally meddled with.

  34. Wrong! That would be China.

  35. The consequence of rent control.
    1
  36. Except China and North Korea.

  38.  @livelaughlovingthroughlife  Meh. Talk is cheap. The only thing consistent about socialism is the equality part. That is, equality in poverty and misery for the workers and masses.

  39. China has just entered the chat.
    1
  40. And a rather so-so one at that.
    1
  41. Including Atheism as was the case of Cambodia under Pol Pot.
    1
  42.  @JohnJaneson2449  Too bad they keep voting for politicians who promise them endless welfare at the expense of economic solvency.
    1
  43. But public servants are largely beholden to politicians.
    1
  44. Seychelles. And then they voluntarily abandoned it as soon as the 1990's rolled in.
    1
  45. Like what Venezuela had? Too bad Chavez and Maduro gutted local industry leaving Venezuela with nothing to fall back on should oil prices drop which it did.

  47. America's hospitals have little on Canada's hospitals when it comes to being at the breaking point. More Canadians go to the US than Americans go to Canada for healthcare.

  48. That's not a sustainable solution. And the last time France taxed the rich, they had to scrap it because too many of their best and brightest left.
    1
  49. Like in China and North Korea?
    1
  50. <They charge extortionate rents and make modern cities unlivable for regular people> Due to extortionate land values, taxes and restrictions imposed on them by the government.
