Republicans, conservatives, tea partiers, and libertarians love to talk about the government doing less and shrinking government. I'm just curious if those who think government should be smaller, or shouldn't do much, could point to a country where their political philosophy is currently put in place and is showing good results.

The answer is there are none. The only hard right nations really out there today are in the middle east, and those counties aren't exactly the staple of prosperity.

None. Most nations are smart enough to know that it's a pipe dream. They can look at us and see that much.

China... no that won't work.

India

India to Raise Spending and Cut Taxes - NYTimes.com

Guess not.

Hong Kong... wait government spends 6 millions of pounds on Feng Shui to realign the qi of residents whose qi was disturbed by construction projects. That would have given the tea party a fatal stroke.
