Ireland's Wealth?
Is it odd that after all the economic mess Ireland fell into, the IMF still lists the debt ridden country as having the world's 13th highest GDP per capita with $38,550? This places Ireland ahead of Germany, the UK, and France -- the powers I always think of as running the EU. Ireland's high per capita GDP probably means two things: a) it's debts are mind-bogglingly high, and, b) instead of concentrating on bailouts, the Irish should be raising taxes sky high as opposed to implementing damning austerity measures.
