Spain's income tax rate is 45% and it is 42% in Italy, so why would conservatives want to move there?
You're the one who wants to be taxed like a red-headed step-child, you move there.
Besides, they have UHC (snicker).
Did you know that only 93.1% of Spaniards and 92.7% of Italians had their health care needs met in 2010 (latest available data).
Gotta love it.......93% is, um, you know, "universal" (snicker).
And the reason they didn't get medical care was.....
"Too expensive or too far to travel or waiting list"
Imagine that -- health care in a UHC country being too expensive.

So why aren't you all moving there in droves?

Their problems aren't over......and neither are yours.

To save your asses.
So....you're not on Kissinger's Christmas List....otherwise you'd have gotten the memo on the Petro-Dollar back in 1974.

Many people believe that Somalia’s economy has been in chaos since the collapse of its national government in 1991. We take a comparative institutional approach to examine Somalia’s performance relative to other African countries both when Somalia had a government and during its extended period of anarchy. We find that although Somalia is poor, its relative economic performance has improved during its period of statelessness. We also describe how Somalia has provided basic law and order and a currency, which have enabled the country to achieve the coordination that has led to improvements in its standard of living.

Ooops.
I highlighted the relevant parts since you arrived late to the debate and ill-informed.
