Which countries have low taxes and have balanced budgets?

  1. Look, you know what I mean, so quit wrapping yourself in the flag. I have yet to meet a fellow American that's not disgusted with the way things are being run. What's truly upsetting is that electing either party seems to have no effect on deficit spending.

    And it would be "you're" not "your" :cool:

  2. Baltic States in Eastern Europe:

    Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia

    They have exceptionally low taxes and they get a lot of funding from the EU so they don't get into debt. In a recent EU poll, Lithuania was ranked as the #1 place (out of EU nations) for a company to start-up a business based on corporate laws and so forth. Plus the labor is cheap in comparision to Western Europe.

  3. They don't need a military because its neighbors use it as a financial center. Singapore is too small anyway to protect themselves from attack.

    Quite interesting to read that some americans still think the "world" is between their east and west coasts. Singapore had real growth of 7.7% last year and Budget surplus of $6.4 billion for Financial Year (FY) 2007.
