I'll pull more out if he wins again and liekly emigrate. The 47% will soon be 60% and all incentive to invest and grow the US economy will be gone. For those happy to see the US destroyed, congrats.
Please go.

I don't think there is a country that is more 'right' than the US Dems.

As for US Republicans, I don't see them 'right' anyway, they are just another flavor of the same stuff, they are corporate socialists.

3) Average American wealth down by 40%....I did much much better becasue I knew what he would do
4) Unemployment the highest since the 1930's
5) Lied about closing Gitmo
6) Lied about getting us out of Afghanistan
7) Average income of Americans down by 15%

Expect a continuation of the decline if he wins. Riddle me this Obamanation nuts, what if anything has he done that helped anyone out?
You still here? I thought you'd be at the airport by now.

I was watching "House Huneter International" with my wife yesterday, and there was a couple looking for a congo in Thailand (not in Bangkok), and the rents for a one bedroom condo were $1500 per month. That's pretty expensive if you asked me. I was surprised.

Nor do I think most countries are keen on receiving people like you. I mean, loyal as you are, you will be the first to return to the US should one of those conservatives win the next election.


I'm loyal to my family and friends. I've lived and worked most of the last 10 years in countries outside of the U.S. and I like some things about most of the countries that I've worked and only family draws me back.

For myself, I have the means to live comfortably and mobile in several countries so I'm partially already disconnected from the U.S. But my kids are still there and that's the reason I care what happens there.

Most of you Obamites have no feeling or caring of peoples situations....you just attack and criticize...another reason to leave. Loyalty must be mutual.

Since you're a mistake pointer outer I thought I would return the favor again. Bolded words are incorrect.

Thailand is worth every bit of whatever you have to pay to be there btw.

And

There is a difference between pointing out clear factual inaccuracies (me), and bickering over typos (you).

Well, if you are already living outside the US, the whole question coming from you makes little sense. Most Americans have never lived outside the US...

Was I asking myself the question? That's a rhetorical question. No, I was asking other posters.
