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,


and perhaps it would be a Belgian tradition also were it an option!


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.



Nice try at changing the subject, but the discussion was about right vs.
left economics. I have cited evidence that the left policies of income
redistribution are less efficient.
