"France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, all are small governments with modern economies".
With an personal income tax rates of roughly 50% could hardly be considered a small government. Those tax rates vary in these countries but the average in roughly 50%. So yes, before some idiots jumps out and shows one country that is with less than 50% there some less than 50%.
