Yes, well I'm sure the NYT would be equally upset if a PBS show about Marx failed the downsides of Marxism.


Not.

I only have one word for those who want to discredit Friedman's economic models: ESTONIA!

For those unfamiliar with Estonia, when they left the Soviet Union they were one of the poorest nations in Europe. High inflation, 35% unemployment, it was a mess. They introduced the economic models of Milton Friedman which included eliminating corporate taxes and instituting a flat income tax. Today it is the largest growing economy in Europe and businesses are flocking in to rake advantage of the lenient tax structure. My one question is, why can't we do that here?
