I'm sure you could find some counter examples where developing/3rd world countries aren't fully developed. Good for you for finding that.

Its funny in your last statement that you are saying a free market economy should be required to publicly fund infrastructure. Isn't that the opposite of a free market economy? I should point out, though, the king of free market economy... the USA... might have a shiny building here and there, but if you think its nice buildings block to block, well, you are wrong.
No I didn't say you were correct.

You said that third world countries have better infrastructure because they just recently built it all and I said that besides a few shiny examples here and there, their infrastructure sucks.

I also never said that a free market economy should be required to publicly fund infrastructure. I said it would be alright if a portion of the infrastructure was funded by tax payers. Our economic structure is conducive to great amounts of wealth for our citizens. That wealth is taxed and is used for infrastructure. Our infrastructure should reflect that wealth.
