Of course an conservative think tank will say that! That graph does show why you should move to the US to earn big bucks, it says nothing about being poor in those countries. It is a complex subject. Just going aroudn on gapminders site ab

I'm even more optimistic; the Sumerian language is now 5000 years old we can read that. I used to love stone runes but after reading Snow Crash clay tablets that the sumerians used seems to be the best path, it's so much faster an
