LOL, read post 45.
The United States is not going to become a nightmare of oppression and lack of freedom, to emulate the tiny city/state of Singapore.
Besides, the United States has nothing in common with that little 5 million peopled, Asian city/state.
Singapore has the most concentration of rich people on earth. 1 our of every 6 people is worth over a million US $$.
But keep ignoring why why some countries do better. Reminds me of the ostrich syndrome. There is no lack of freedom there except for criminals and vandals. Nobody ever stopped me while I was on vacation. Some of the tastiest and best food I have ever eaten. Public transportation makes ours look like 3rd world.
