What flag do you salute these days?

I'd be interested to know that, too. If it's better than the former "America", sign me up. I could "renounce" any connection I have to this land mass in a heartbeat.

You pretty much gave yourself away.
NOTHING is better then the “FORMER” America.
I, however, prefer to enjoy my senior years away from
an Obamanation. Get back to me if and when you have bumped off the new American Marxist.
Sadly, we can do nothing but vote, but we are outnumbered.

I did not leave America...America left me!

The beauty about walking away from it all is that you don’t have to find somewhere that has a better political system, because you don’t give a rat’s ass any more you just look for a country that will leave you the hell alone.

In America you don’t get that option, you can’t opt out because the government won’t let you. So many simple day-to-day activities seem to involve permission from government agents of varying degrees of authority.

In what were once regarded as third world hell holes you’ll find that in fact the people are much freer. Sure, if they decide to get involved in political campaigning or criminal activity they’ll get noticed by the state and they’ll get the 4am knock. For the vast majority of people, just going about their day-to-day business the government has no real effect or influence.

If you are an American, say, perhaps a retiree on a fairly decent pension such a place has a lot of advantages. You can afford to live in a nice area and consequently enjoy the benefits of wealth inequality, ie you’ve got money so you have first call on healthcare, security, transportation and the poor people just have to get in line for whatever handouts are left.

You have a nice lifestyle with servants, cheap food, booze, perhaps a younger lady friend or two if you like (good luck with that in the US), a nice climate etc. And provided you don’t decide to get involved in politics and tip the local cop appropriately at Christmas time you’ll have no trouble from the gubm’mint.

You would of course be living as a foreign guest in someone else’s land and enjoying all the benefits as such. Or maybe you’d rather just stay feeling like a foreigner in your own land where you are shoved to the back of the queue and if you speak out against the new system you find yourself in trouble with the federales.
