Yes. If you want to be a billionaire Wall Street Whiz, those countries are not for you. You can, of course, be comfortably off, just as you can here and elsewhere.

True, but they also don't worry about the rest of the world like the US does. They stay in their own lane. They also limit immigration. Not to mention among the highest taxes.......and limited housing.
