If I could choose anywhere to live, it would probably be a small country that just gained its independence. For some reason, those are the types that know how to respect freedom.

All the E.European countries are kicking butt economically where they have adopted a flat tax etc. You would think someone here would get the idea.

Thats mainly because the first Finance Minister had no education in economics beyond reading Milton Friedman's Free To Choose. He thought everyone did things that way and set it up accordingly.

You have to remember that our politicians (especially on the left) do not want a particularly vigourous economy. A sputtering economy tends to cause people to want more government.
