Congratulations to Estonia!

Yes, the United States claims to be the leader of the free world, but in this listing is number 8. :thinking:

Which is surprising as this ranking is tilted towards the US political model - low taxation and corresponding low government services are scored positively.

In most countries this is considered as a political belief, rather than a universal ideal.

At least you don't have a JEB, but I gotta tell you:

I think he's the smartest one out of the 3 brothers, and the hardest working.

But no--I'm NOT voting for him if he runs for president.
