While you’re finishing your place think about using http://www.opensecrets.org/ to find contractors & service providers in your area who have contributed to conservative candidates.

Yes. I am open to all ideas. I am currently out of the country, set to return in June. Return to what?

No, probably not, but people are having to save money by dropping premium packages. When you lose your job luxuries like a gazillion TV channels, movies, etc. go by the wayside so Hollywood communists are unwittingly starving themselves with the policies they advocate.

It is so hard to even contemplate giving up my citizenship in America. And you can’t escape the taxes without doing so..it’s a tough call.

I’ve been thinking about going into nursing but now I’m unsure. If a lot of docs do bail there’s going to be a glut of nurses looking for employment.

And the problem is, if you’re of some means, you really can’t escape the taxes even with expatriation as a US citizen. By locking the “earners” in the society, almost irrevocably to their US taxation for up to 10 years the wealthy are going to dig in their heels eventually.

Expatriation becomes more problematic as a person’s wealth increases.

Really? I have never seriously looked into it. I just know from experiences as an expat, no matter what ya do...ya still gotta pay US taxes. Prison Planet...(:

Anyone else thinking along those lines?

I do, but I have serious doubts my family could do it unless circumstances absolutely left them no alternative choice.

“Who is John Galt?” is the line from the book. I guess not everyone has actually read it.
