| #3 Pretty hard to argue with Ireland's success. This is the best wedge against Old (Slacker) Europe imaginable. Great for Estonia, btw. Superb economy, and exceptionally beautiful women as well. |

| #2 Ten years ago Estonia became the first country in Europe to introduce flat rate proportional personal income tax, a policy designed to energize our people and stimulate growth. It was a huge success. Latvia and Lithuania followed, then Russia, Ukraine and now Slovakia. [...] It looks quite possible that within five years the whole of Central and Eastern Europe will move to flat-rate income taxes Russia's flat tax is 13%, which Putin introduced in 2001. |
