Shining city on the hill: Estonia

[off2bed]

Austerity, tax cuts, and freedom. They work every time they're tried.

The economy grew 7.6 percent last year, five times the euro-zone average.

Estonia is the only euro-zone country with a budget surplus. National debt is just 6 percent of GDP, compared to 81 percent in virtuous Germany, or 165 percent in Greece.

Estonia has also paid close attention to the fundamentals of establishing a favorable business environment: reducing and simplifying taxes, and making it easy and cheap to build companies.

Evidence the right is right, nothing but crickets chirping.

 

[Liar]

Estonia still has:

Public universal health care
Free* public municipal daycare
Paid maternity or paternity leave for 1,5 years
An almost exclusively public school system
A retirement age of 63
28 days of paid vacation
Paid sick leave
* Minor administrational fees apply locally. Parents provide or pay for food

Enjoy your socialism.

Oh and you also forgot to mention their 11.5% unemployment rate. Isn't that what a "favorable business environment" is supposed to fix? Jobs jobs jobs?

 

[Liar]

Also, unlike Greece, they actually manage to collect their taxes.

I wonder if we will ever outlive the national shame of FDR selling the captive nations into the hell of communist slavery.

So you, unlike your idol Allen West, actually do know what communism is?
