Now their economy is dropping as fast as a lot of good old Europe or American economies.

Now what's the point you wanted to make, again?


Their economy is dropping a lot faster. Low taxes equaled high debt... fine when it can be overcome with "10%" growth but not working so well now.

I wouldn't put Ireland in the same category.

Today's news Ireland's inflation at 75 year low.

At that time the Estonia economy was growing at 10%+ per year and so was the Irish, both places with an easy to understand flat rate taxation system, same for anybody, corporate or private.

Now their economy is dropping as fast as a lot of good old Europe or American economies.


Faster. Its shocking how fast their economies are dropping......esp. Ireland.
