What is the best country to leave the US for?

polpolik · Oct 29, 2007

Lol. So how's life in the mountains of Alabama, Mr. Flag-waving-bible-thumping-tobacco-chewing hillbilly?

I left the US last year and now spend time between Singapore and Philippines. I guess making $120k-$150k a year the past few years puts me in the lower end of the economic ladder. But, I'm pretty sure I never had problems buying milk, buying bread and paying for my rent.

Only in ET does everyone make millions of dollars year.

Quote from blackjack007:

people who complain about life in the usa are generally those at the lower end of the economic ladder and don't see themselves climbing any higher. if you have money to live the good life, the usa is one of the best places to live. but if you don't have money, you might have a better life in thailand or india. i don't see the wealthy wanting to leave the usa, it's always someone who whines about how uncle sam takes 30% of their income and they have nothing left for milk, rent and a new laptop.

Quote from Susukino:

Clearly you are deliberately pretending not to understand the legal difference between a corporate entity and a flesh and blood person. Mea culpa: it was foolish to expect anything other than a puerile response given your first post.

Suss

I'm not deliberately pretending anything. You've been outclassed once again. The fact of the matter is that corporate entities are considered to be people. Does a corporation not want to minimize the impact of taxes? Corporations can and will make rational economic decisions. In the case of HAL, it has arguably the biggest US insider there is: Dick Cheney.

Thanks for playing. You lose.

I have read this interesting thread and I just wanted to stick in my 2 cents,...........I am assuming that I am older than the average ET poster because while life in the US is very good for me since I have the means to pay for things I read this thread with great interest because I pay health care costs that are SKYROCKETING OUT OF SIGHT,,,,,,,,,,,without any end in sight,,,,,,,,this issue alone threatens living in the US in the not too distant future.......Am I alone in this concern ?????

Ok, so I contemplated Canada already (see my other thread.) But if -you- could drop it all and leave and go elsewhere, where would you go?

I am very unsatisfied with the US government and do not want to stay here, start a family here, or give so much as one more dollar to the IRS. I want to leave, right after I finish my master's degree.

Ideally, the new place is:

- Politically stable
- Safe
- Universities will be easy to go to and learn
- Easy to make some money in
- Very low immigration hassles
- Friendly to non-whites
- People know English there, or the language is easy to learn

And finally:

- Likely to survive world war 4 and nuclear winds, since I think Bush will kick off the worst war in the history of the world

Consider Nigeria OR Dafur

Say hi to Art Bell for me will ya? He left the USA to go live in the
Phiippines so he could marry a 20 year old. He is about 70...

They have a lot of that there from what I understand...

Old men, young little girls.. just like most asian countries...

It is very much a person according to US courts.

Furthermore, its rationale for leaving is the same as my rationale for leaving. If Dick Cheney is betting against the US, why wouldn't I want to bet against the US?

Haliburton is a person! Ha ha! Got another joke to tell?

Leave already. No one will miss you. Go to Nigeria, you'll love it...:eek:

My parents actually has a business in the Philippines. But hey, a perve like you sees things quite differently I'm sure.

I'm 30 years old actually. I don't consider myself that old just yet. Anyways, I'm unsubscribing from this thread, ET breeds retards like you faster than mosquitoes breed maggots in a pond in backcountry USA.

Only idiots and well-trained sheep don't question their government.

I thought we established it isn't your government anymore. Stop the questions and leave already. Your whinning actually works it's through the speakers.

Hey guy from the Philli's. I now have a 25 year old aunt from there. My uncles 71 this year. Not saying this is the culture for everyone there or anything, but there are two of us with this experience. Can you blame us for thinking this a little strange every once in a while?

What a weenie. His parents actually have a business! How exciting!

I bet they sell little girls to old men like Art Bell.

And you are 30 but consider yourself what, 10? That way you
can have 10 year old girl friends? Frickin' pervert...
