The Forgotten Man

How about this list? http://www.heritage.org/Index/countries.cfm

Ooh, The Heritage Foundation! No bias there of course…

Why don’t we look at something more scientific, like the Human Development Index.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index

Let’s see the top 10 now:

1. Iceland 0.968 (▲ 1)
2. Norway 0.968 (▼ 1)
3. Australia 0.962 (▬)
4. Canada 0.961 (▲ 2)
5. Ireland 0.959 (▼ 1)
6. Sweden 0.956 (▼ 1)
7. Switzerland 0.955 (▲ 2)
8. Japan 0.953 (▼ 1)
9. Netherlands 0.953 (▲ 1)
10. France 0.952 (▲ 6)

The US is 12th United States 0.951 (▼ 4)

All of the top 10 countries are more ‘socialist’ than we are. Four of them even made the Heritage Foundations top ten for economic freedom!

They main difference us and the countries on this top ten list is that our socialism is primarily for the benefit of the wealthiest 5% of the population; whereas their socialism benefits everyone.

Now, assuming you aren’t in that top 5%, where would you want to live?
