Let's see -- Russia has had a 13% flat tax rate. It doesn't have large cities where violent criminal are released right back onto the street right after committing a crime. Russia hasn't allowed open borders and doesn't have drug traffickers, sex traffickers and gang members flowing freely over it.
Everything we accuse Russia of HAS BEEN true of us over the past four years -- rigged elections, political prisoners and a sitting President trying to imprison his the leader of the opposition party.
