You must have voted for Obama. He's all about spreading the wealth. The Left have a favorite saying: Think globally, act locally. Can I suggest that you apply that to wealth distribution in your community? You could find those who have less wealth than you do and share yours with them. I'm sure they'd appreciate your wealth re-distribution scheme.

No, not really.
The US is a pretty good country; but it's not the only pretty good country.

The US is quite crime ridden and has a pretty bad economy.

I've lived in several countries, and traveled to dozens more, they've all been just fine.

Isn't Paris where those marauding groups of Muslim men were setting things on fire not so long ago?

My husband was there 5 months ago for a conference and said in some areas of Paris you can still see burned out cars on the street from the violence.

Take this list with a grain of sand.

It probably is and I will agree with that. If you make no money, France is the best place to live because their government will coddle you. For a poor person, the benefits of living in France can't be beaten.

But guess what, I want the opportunity to become wealthy. I don't want the government to coddle me. I would rather them give me opportunity. If I lived in France, I would be paying nearly 4 times the income tax I pay now to live there. Yeah France provides better benefits because they charge far more in taxes in everything. Don't take my word for it, check out the link below. If you want to give all your money to the government go live in France
