As a libertarian-leaning Republican, I found this short article by John Stossel very interesting. There are 140 comments after it, and many of them mentioned other countries they have lived in, or are living in, or thinking of moving to. These are very revealing as to the advantages and disadvantages of living with dual citizenship. Recently on USMB a thread was started relative to what countries would be the best to relocate. There weren't many posts, so I thought this might add to the curiosities of those who would still like to know. I'll be staying here but as a Stepford citizen with a flattened spirit.
Snip:
From economist Mark Skousen, the organizer of Freedom Fest.
"Current government policies encourage American to be takers. Where will that lead? When Peter realizes he can vote himself free stuff and bill Paul, and when there are increasing numbers of Peters and fewer Pauls, that’s a very bad trend."
Snip:
According to the US State Department, over 6.6 million Americans are living abroad. That’s equal to the State of Massachusetts, and a 73% increase over the 1999 figure of 3.8 million. Over 687,000 live in Canada…..222,000 in England…..211,000 in Germany….and over 1,000,000 in Mexico.
Mexico is the new paradise?
If the United States really is on the Road to Serfdom, where will you move?
