So, there is NO COUNTRY in the world we can use as a role model? How about the good old US of A?
Take a look at Singapore. Who knows how well it would scale though.
But that wasn’t one of my choices. Even if it were a choice, the USA that I know and love isn’t living up to its own good reputation. If we are trying to figure out which Big Govt./HIgh tax model to follow, I go with None of the Above.
