Why Chile? You might like Costa Rica better...

I liked the way they handled their trapped miners a while back. Their flag looks like it was inspired by the TX flag. They recently evolved from left of center to right of center. Ethnic composition-

The most recent study in the Candela Project establishes that the genetic composition of Chile is originated in a 44% from the Natives Americans (Amerindians), with 52% of the genome coming from Europe, and a 4% coming from Africa; making Chile a primarily mestizo country, with African traces present in half of the population.[74] Also, another genetic study conducted by the University of Brasilia in several American countries, shows a similar genetic composition for Chile, with a European contribution of 51.6%, an Amerindian (Native) contribution of 42.1%, and an African contribution of 6.3%.

A public health booklet from the University of Chile states that 30% of the population is of Caucasian origin; "predominantly White" Mestizos are estimated to amount a total of 65%, while Native Americans (Amerindians) comprise the remaining 5%.[76]

Looks like very few of holder's people have infected the country so far.

I want what you want but there is not other place, our Free Republic is not yet completely destroyed it can be restored.

BUT we are going to have to fight, it is the nature of Freedom, we are facing I believe the last hope for a political remedy, if after that we have failed then we either except our demise or purchase our Republic back, the price will be rivers of blood.

CRUZ 2016!

Politically, Chile has vacillated between socialist and more conservative governments over the years. That might be something to consider too.

How does Chile compare to Costa Rica?

Did you know that Costa Rica has 0% Muslim population?

Personally, I think this nation is long past a purely political restoration.

(...though we will vote for Ted Cruz)

“The Constitution isn’t being ignored, except by Obama. Its meaning have been perverted to mean that the government has the power to do nearly anything, include to force you to purchase soemthing you neither want nor can afford.”

You’re dreaming...

1. The Supreme court ruled in favor of Obamacare including forcing people to buy a product they may not want.

2. A democratic congress voted for Obamacare and a republican congress voted to not defund it.

3. A republican congress voted to fund the illegal amnesty decree that obama didn’t even officially issue through an executive order. In other words he’s bypassing even the most rudimentary formalism.

4. A judge ruled against obama on his non-deportation decree. Obama is thumbing his nose to the judge and no one is doing anything about it.

5. A republican governor and republican state legislature passed a law protecting the freedom of religious beliefs stated in the 1st amendment (something that shouldn’t even be necessary), yet within 24hours they caved totally to the “mob” reversing their own decision and in the process gutting the 1st amendment.

6. Republican congressional leaders have voluntarily given up their two biggest powers when they came out and said that they will not restrict spending if obama threatens to shut down the government and that they have no intention of impeaching Obama.

7. If you were Obama intent on “fundamentally transforming America” would you give a crap about the constitution, any constitution, when you’re given carte blanche?

Any constitution is just a piece of paper - it only acquires substance and power when the people it’s supposed to protect (the citizens) are prepared to protect its values with their sacrifice of treasure, honor and yes, even lives.

Unfortunately, we’re a long ways from that. Most of us still expect our institutions (the Presidency, Congress, the courts, agencies, military, churches, etc.)to do that hard work for us. But that won’t happen because most institutions have been co-opted by the enemies of the constitution - of our values.

Quote from the source you cite:

“New Zealand may not be a socialist country, but the welfare system in the country is very wide ranging.”

So you have a line between the welfare state level and socialism?

What income is taxable in New Zealand

New Zealand taxes income on both a residency and a source basis.

New Zealand residents

If you are a resident of New Zealand for tax purposes, you will be taxed in New Zealand on all of your “worldwide income”. This is income derived from New Zealand as well as income derived from all other countries.

Find out about your personal tax residency status

Note

Your worldwide income includes any income that you derive in a foreign country even if you do not bring the money into New Zealand. For example, your worldwide income could include:
•an amount of interest you derive from funds you have in an offshore bank account
•rental income
•salary and wages paid both by New Zealand companies and offshore companies
•foreign pensions - find out more
