Per capita GDP numbers show pretty clearly how "efficient" the socialist
economies of the world are! For example:

United States $35991.96 per person
Belgium $29127.94 per person

Waving around your Bulging Wallets as proof of success
is of course an American Tradition, but GDP per capita is hardly
the one and only indicator worth mentioning. In quality-of-life
rankings, Belgium is usually classified above the USA, although
not by much. Longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality,
better education, etc.

Really? Then why that environmental quality ranking disparity, with the US
coming in at 45 and Belgium at 125?
