      anybody should visit singapore and see the success of Lee.

      a country based on education, work ethics, transparency and meritocracy. there is no race/gender based quota, there is good social security net yet not big enough to enslave her people into an entitlement class like the US. there is income tax where everyone, rich and poor pay but definitely not out to punish the achievers and reward the spongers (those who take in a lot but pay in very little).

      I disagree with some things he has done, but I greatly respect his views on the world and the way he's maintained a balancing act betweeen the USA and the ChiComs
