Here are the scores for both Singapore and the United States in Heritage's Index of Economic Freedom:
Singapore,Where does it look like the United States needs to improve?
United States.
They want us poor! Poor people are easier to control. They've rigged the whole system to make it difficult to create wealth here. They didn't eliminate the creation of wealth they moved it overseas so we can not benefit from it. They had to move it. Even under the most burdensome regulation and crushing taxes the process of wealth creation would still remain here and the American people, hardworking and resilient, would still thrive.
Regulations and Taxes are easy to fix, you just sign a piece of paper, but physically destroying or moving our industrial infrastructure and giving away the technology is irreversible. The consequences are catastrophic and not something we can ever recover from. The men that deliberately did that with malice and forethought ruined this country for generations. They are the worst kind of traitors and should be dealt with as such.
