For the USA to even come close, its government would have to be shredded to 1/20 its current size, on per capita basis, for starters, at all levels, and gradually trimmed back more, for the next 10 years, and its tax forms would have to be reduced to 2 sheets of paper, one for personal and one for corporations.
