    <body><![CDATA[I have always maintained there are two sides of the story. Surprisingly there are more things that I agree with this book than what I originally expected e.g. I'm in favor for a simpler/flat tax code (even though I would propose zero deductions), immigration reform, free trade,etc. I disagree with a couple of positions like death tax but overall a good book easy to read with several facts to back views. However, even though book praises policies in Ireland, Estonia, Russia, etc. when a global economic slowdown like we're experiencing no country goes unscathed. ]]></body>
