asking this would be like me asking all democrats to get up and move to sweden. that way you can have your cake and eat it too.

heck, without the democrats and republicans, we americans can finally have freedom and liberty without all the republicans and democrats mucking up things.

Somalia would actually be a libertarian's utopia, no taxes, no gun control, no traffic lights truly free market, it's a wonderful life.

Have you discovered a way for Americans to become citizens of another country just like that.? Liberal progressive types would like europe a whole lot better than right wingers.

Too bad they practiced Obamanomics for 50 plus years and were forced into those decisions.

Ummmmm....................... because our family has been here since 1630. We are residents; you are just "renting".

Keep in mind that just five years ago, the darling of your economic beliefs (the Nobel Prize winner Stiglitz) was noting the tremendous successes of Keynesian economics and the shining examples were Italy, Spain, Greece, and Portugal. Perhaps you should go there and "live the dream".

We will stay here, be patient, and wait for Obama to destroy the US. We will form other nations from the ashes of the old USA which will be better.
