    We have free and poor countries and not-so-free, richer ones.

    That is is a failure of logic and intelligence - hence you're a moron.
    State run economies are utterly useless and there is not one individual within the UK civil service who could run anything. Free market policies are the only way for wealth to be created. The problem with free markets is that they are utterly ruthless in how they work and they inevitably create their own anti free market monopolies. There are also key services which are not suited to being run as free market entities though there are plenty of their functions that should be and indeed are.

    The state should not run anything it should instead regulate and ensure that free markets benefit everyone and do not leave people behind. Public services should be run as if they were clearly seen as an enhancement to peoples lives (instead of fiefdoms of politicians and those that work in them) . They are anything but.

    I never said freedom automatically equals prosperity and that there are no other variables. However, my 6 examples do seem a little more quantitative than your single example.

    I could, but why take the time when you are putting forward so much compelling evidence on your own?

    Why not google "free market failures" or similar in google for conclusive proof of why you are such a twat?

    For you, the world is a very simple place where everything can be neatly pigeonholed. Sadly for you though, the real world is much more complex

    Well, they are prosperous when you compare them to the other 160-odd countries on earth. People in NZ and Canada get universal free education, good healthcare, clean water, plenty of food, a clean environment in which to live, a functioning justice system, hardened roads on which to travel and most of them live in a clean and comfortable house or flat with a reasonable level of material wealth; most have a car, the household implements that make life more comfortable, have sufficient clothing and they can enjoy a drink with their friends once or twice a week. Many get paid holidays and their working environments are relatively safe. What other definitions of prosperity do you want to use?

    Many people want to imply i am wrong, but the elephant in the room is that they are unable to state where and how. Surely if i was saying 1 + 3 + 4 = 5 it would be very easy.

    Canada had a deficit problem like us a few years ago, but they have largely turned it around with their austerity programme.
