Why I'm Reminded of Denzel Washington

Man on Fire, or as I like to say "Hombre En Fuego" because it sounds cooler.

especially the fahWAY in the word "Fuego."

Good quote from Denzel Washington;

"You want a wish?"

"Yes, please."

"I wish you had more time."

wish I had more time.

So here's the quick little chart I saw in The Economist which proves something we all know, but adds to my theory that it isn't just low taxes that matter, but an uncorrupt and mature/responsible society in order to enjoy economic growth and high standards of living.



Back to work. Joy.

    How did Macau end up so corrupt and yet almost as rich as we are?

    It might be a bit late to ask this, but for your loyal Canadian fan base can you identify Canada on this chart?

    Arnold Kling over on TCS posted an article that examines the structure of government particularly in Iraq, but also generally, that ties into your thoughts. http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=010807B
