And yet the US has more billionaires per capita than any other country - go figure.

And yet, the misinformation put out by you is amazing. Go figure:

As 2002

in terms of billionaires per capita, the United States is beaten out by Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore. Switzerland’s population of 7.2 million includes 13 billionaires, while 12 of Hong Kong’s 6.7 million people are in the club. Singapore comes in third, with 5 billionaires among 3.9 million people. Surprisingly, Sweden comes in fifth after the United States in the billionaires per capita category. Known for its egalitarianism, Sweden nevertheless has six billionaires among its population of 8.9 million.

I was wrong! Thank you for the correction.

The Swiss must be very clever to have so many billionaires and an income tax too.
