I find it hard to believe that Scandinavian countries where you freeze your ass of for the better part of the entire year, where people are frequently depressed because they're trapped indoors, where alcoholism and suicide are high, rank above the United States. I know a family from Finland, and they only go back there a few months of the year. In the summer.
What's so frigging great about Scandinavia?
And I know several people from Australia and Canada who say they are taxed more than 50% of their income, and again choose to be in the U.S.
I'd agree that skyrocketing debt puts the nation at risk and and has resulted in a decline of the dollar (thank you Bernanke, Reid, Pelosi and Obama) by their puppetmaster's account a "managed decline" (thank you James Bond villain George Soros). But at present, it's still where many worldwide from the so called "better" nations prefer to be!
I know people from 8 of the 10 top nations. That are here in Florida.
Gerard Depardieu in the last few days just renounced his French citizenship, and when publicly criticized by the French president, Depardieu basically told le presidente to chew on his tubesteak.
"Best nation" still largely is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
