Why are the best countries to do business in all Socialist states?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/21/the-best-countries-to-do_n_584773.html America isn't on the list, but you can see Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and other Socialist "hellholes" (lol) Has the American right created a false dichotomy between having a state with a safety net and having a state that is a good place to do business and make money? Bridget D, I was being sarcastic

HAHA another "great" place to do business is mainland China. But then I don't want to live there either. Too oppressive (never been a fan of communism) HuffPo...LMAO

Not one of those countries is socialist - they all have market economies. They have high levels of tax/spend for social programs and investment in public infrastructure, but that's a different thing altogether. Such practices tend to lead to high standards of living and high quality of life, if done wisely with a keen eye on balancing the books. There are problems at the moment because of the budget deficits due to the banking crisis, particularly in Iceland, but it is presumed that when these are dealt with practices will return to normal.
