Quote from Ivanovich:

Oh, I won't. And I'll keep my cap gains taxes, too. Enjoy paying 'em.

You might not pay cap gains taxes but doesn't it cost $50,000 (at least, maybe more today) a year to buy (and keep) Swiss citizenship?? Basically you need to be loaded to make it worthwhile. I don't think Swiss give citizenship to just about anybody. This is an old information though I might be wrong.

Quote from TradEStar:

Mindless patriotism is almost too funny a comment..what the heck does that have to do with anything??????? He currently lives in the U.S. so why would he NEED to go to canada to find the boonies was my point. Why as a trader would he want to go to a higher tax rate situation than he would have in the U.S. ???

Lower crime, higher life expectancy, less materialism, not having to worry about personal bankruptcy in the event of sickness etc.

why not just stay in the US and move into a more comfortable city? I'd love to live in San Diego, nice weather and not too much pollution. Allot more affordable than NYC/SF/OC if I recall correctly

If the dollar collapses, the US will be in deep $hi7.

I can see them taking it to worthlessness, and no one in the government even talks about it, other than Ron Paul. While I will be voting for him, I don't think the other Americans have even considered that their currency is in peril.

Listen, you need to up the anti-depressants man. You are making several arguments that have nothing to do with each other.

On the one hand you are lecturing us about the collapse of the dollar, on the other you talk about living off the land and getting out of the city. What is it that you want man? Did you just blow out your trading account and now you are losing your mind?

Admit it man, this has nothing to do with dollar or the woods, it has to do with a little Sean Penn movie you saw last weekend. Just admit it man.

Then hedge, buy some gold, land, whatever. That is a simple problem to fix
