Its not. That list is basicly just companys that have offices in those places or headquarters for just England there, because i just checked a few of them. Headquarters for alot of them companys are in the US, and its easy to tell to. Pretty much everyone knows Microsoft's head quarters are in Washington. The US's list is probably insane compared to that one, im not that intrested to go find one though

1: The Magizine Takes sources from the UN.
2: You are kinda sounding like a dick, Whats the point of posting that, all it did was take a shot at Ireland.
3: The US came 13th. Britain (Excluding N.I. which was Included in Ireland) came 29th
4: You've got the Concept of that list wrong, it's foreign companies who chose to put thier European Headquarters in Ireland, and the bases are for Europe, not only England, England have nothing to do with Ireland anymore, apart from having lynch of part of it

Replace England with Europe in my post. I was just talking about the area in general, so the concept was right. Im not a major in Europes history and how their countrys are related.

Listen, I know first hand how you can find your fortune in America. That is why it is called 'The Land Of Opportunity.' My Dad went to America, worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for several years, and after time, he owned his own Construction Firm in The Greater Philidelphia Area. Thats because over here, there were no jobs (for Catholics) if you have ever read 'Stupid White men' By Michael Moore you can catch a Glimpse at just what I'm talking about. We are so high up that list because of the amazing progress we have made in the last few decades. Ireland is also 2nd in the world on Gross per Capita. Basically Meaning that down south, the average cash down there for each person is 150,000 Euro if you count EVERYONE, not just working individuals.
