Wealthy Americans Fleeing To Escape Collapse

[georgephillip]

He doesn't pay it unless he's the owner. What organization do you work for?

Let's get personal on the internet. You first.

It's obvious the taxpayers are paying your salary and you don't want to admit it.

I work for a private corporation.

You, on the other hand, are a tick on the ass of society.

The private corporation you work for would not exist without government.

Soory Dude. I have not worked for the government since I did a short stint in the US Army during Nam. Does that count towards your mindless, bigoted bashing?

“Cameron’s decision fits the trend of wealthy Americans pulling their money out of the country and reinvesting it to buy land in the southern hemisphere, escaping spiraling tax rates and protecting themselves against the potential for widespread social dislocation.”

Yes, I read that this morning. I do have a way to get out, myself.....

Cameron is Canadian, and not a trend. Pubcrappe. The min wage in NZ is $13, not Reaganist AT ALL.

That is too bad. That is trend I could applaud.

That begs the question.. Why the hell won't the bastards leave?

Geez us regular folks might realize we never needed their sorry asses.

The only problem with going to South America is that you're on the hook for ALL your services. Security, electricity, etc. The infrastructure in South America is NOWHERE near as robust as here.

Unless you trust the local cops that don't know you from adam and probably view you as a rich gringo who deserves whatever happens to them for flaunting their wealth.

Yeah but Cameron went to New Zealand - that's where Limbaugh has been talking about.
The Southern hemisphere is very big

BTW note the NZ ads at the bottom of the window - hmmmmmm

New Zealand has a higher top income tax rate than the US does, and their corporate tax rates are about the same as the US.

Well, I hope that the fat junkie does leave the US. Just shows how much he cared about all the people that he lies to on a daily basis.

The tax base has been leaving California for awhile now. How is that working out?

I left Silicon Valley in 2000. Wow did I escape a mess. And in typical liberal fashion when they are heading for the wall, they step on the gas, not the breaks.

How many liberals worked for Enron?

"The California electricity crisis, also known as the Western U.S. Energy Crisis of 2000 and 2001 was a situation in which California had a shortage of electricity caused by market manipulations and illegal shutdowns of pipelines by Texas energy consortiums."

Rich parasites like Ken Lay have been consolidating state power and using it to enhance their private wealth for thousands of years. That's the mess we all need to escape from.

Pattycake has a visceral hatred of anyone more intelligent and informed than he is. That means that he dislikes everybody.

 

[Old Rocks]

So when are you leaving, leach?

Well if I ever start leaching I hope I have the good sense to leave my good fellows alone and "STOP" but..generally the self centered also have zero self conscientious.

Who pays your salary?

A Russian company. And I probably make more money than you do, Pattycake.

So that gives ticks like you the right to loot everyone?

Government wouldn't exist if it weren't for private citizens supporting it.

Interestingly, the OP''s linked article also mentions Social Dislocation which makes more sense than the spiraling tax conjecture (because that's exactly what it is,,conjecture). From the linked article:

"Cameron’s decision fits the trend of wealthy Americans pulling their money out of the country and reinvesting it to buy land in the southern hemisphere, escaping spiraling tax rates and protecting themselves against the potential for widespread social dislocation."
We have political turmoil, (see dysfunction Washington) and most Americans are still in economic turmoil. Folks, we have Social Dislocation!

Then why are you so shy about explaining you issues your paycheck?

The Dow just reached a 4 year high, the Nasdaq just reached an 11 year high.

Republicans are whinny little bitches.

Anyone who bets against America will lose.

Especially with Obama as president. Just ask Al Qaeda and the Somali pirates.

Got a thing for ticks, Pattycake?

If they did leave, you would realize how much you did need them. Then your ass would be "sorry."

So your hope that he leaves shows what Limbuagh believes? Then my hope that Obama commits suicide shows what a pathetic coward he is.

I think your forum name is short for "Old Rocks in the Head."

Your ass is being handed to you.

The economy is roaring back from the Bush recession.

Nothing for Republicans in Congress to do but pass anti abortion bills or black voter suppression laws.

Rich parasites like Ken Lay have been consolidating state power and using it to enhance their private wealth for thousands of years. That's the mess we all need to escape from.

The California "Energy crisis" was pure purely the result of the stupidity of California politicians. They deregulated the wholesale market for electricity but imposed price controls on the retail market.

Capitalism Magazine - The Cause of the California Electricity Shortages: "Price Controls"

As an economist, whenever I hear the word "shortage" I wait for the other shoe to drop. That other shoe is usually "price control." So it was no great surprise to discover, after the electric power shortage in California made headlines, that there were price controls holding down the price of electricity to the consumers.

In the absence of price control, a shortage is usually a passing thing. When prices are free to rise, that causes consumers to buy less and producers to produce more, eliminating the shortage. But when the price is artificially prevented from rising, the shortage is prevented from ending.

The electric power shortage in California is not unique. What is a new twist, however, is that there are no limits on how much the wholesale electric power suppliers can charge the utility companies that directly supply the consumer. Since the utility companies have been paying more for electricity than they were allowed to charge their customers, they were operating in the red and the financial markets are downgrading their bonds. Buying high and selling low is the royal road to bankruptcy, and bonds in a bankrupt company are not usually worth much.
