[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hong Kong (of course its not a country but a Special Administrative Region for the DCUM nitpickers...)

Singapore.[/quote]

Singapore is a police state. Hong Kong used to be a colony. [/quote]

America also used to be a colony. Its freedoms are also not what they used to be.

But the question was, which places are succeeding at having a low tax environment that works. Why are you so upset that there are places, which seem to get it right? I've lived in both so I'm pretty confident that they are doing well.[/quote]

Earlier in the discussion tiny city-states were brought up.  They seem to be a bad analogy to America.  They're small, really small, incredibly densely populated, are not democratic, and often do not seem to have a very diversified economy.

Even ignoring that, you didn't read the OP's question, because it still fails.  OP asked for countries that have low taxes AND no social safety net.  Singapore pays for 30% of all healthcare spending for its poor people.  Its education system is well known as one of the best in the world.  Singapore is a country that values each of its children.  If we're just talking about low-tax autocratic states, you could add in Dubai, or the gulf countries.  Of course, the United Arab Emirates is the mother of all nanny-states for its citizens.  Healthcare, housing, education, even jobs are guaranteed for each citizen.[/quote]
