Name a single productive country (similar to ours WRT cultural/racial demographics, population, size, etc.) with a thriving economy and middle class that has no/few/underpaid public servants.
Just one.[/quote]
I don;t think there is a single country that is similar to ours WRT cultural/racial demographics, population and size, period. So, obviously there is not one with or without any public servants at all.
It’s a bit like asking someone to name just one 7-foot, 300+ pound basketball players named Shaq that can’t dunk.
