And this perfect system culminated with the UK going nearly bust. And if Thatcher didn't end that, you just need to look at the other side of the Channel to see what the UK would have become.

I'm looking at the U.S. and it thrived and built major infrastructure because it could afford to.

A country could tax the crap out of the rich and misspend. No matter what, we should expect and insist on competency. Not this Reaganesque idea that the government is shit no matter what.
