I’m not “rich,” but I vacillate between thinking of leaving my beloved USA and mulling over what’s going to be necessary to take it back. My freedom is being eroded as we speak, and the Reds in the White House are plotting to confiscate what’s left of my income and savings.
I wake up in the night with my heart pounding: “Is this Germany in the 1930’s? Should I stand and fight, or take my family and get the hell out?”
You are not alone.
Should I stand and fight, or take my family and get the hell out?
A good question to ask the thirty some thousand per year who are leaving the USA. The old Gray Mare, she isn’t what she use to be ? I understand with little money, a person can go to some foreign country’s and live the easy life ?....maids and servants work for little pay, so I’m told.
If you are not ‘rich’ then renouncing your citizenship probably wont buy you much anyway.
They have huge tax liabilities for investments they have outside the country even if they live outside the country.
What escape route is analogous to America in the 30's?
“I wake up in the night with my heart pounding: Is this Germany in the 1930s? Should I stand and fight, or take my family and get the hell out?”
There was only one right answer for the family in the 1930’s, though it doubtless would have entailed considerable hardship as well.
If the US didn’t reach the point of no return in 2008, an obama win in 2012 would be the tipping point for certain. Fiscally, the point of no return was reached in 2009/2010.
Do both. Have a list of your local varmints....when the balloon goes up and you see the critters dropping like flies, add to the carnage by crossing of those on your list.....think locally, act globally.
Also....look at cheap real estate OCONUS and keep your passports up to date, get passport cards (only work on CONUS borders), and try to buy foreign currencies on the dips.
Even though the Euro may collapse, I have a few hundred Euros, Mexican pesos, etc. I'm thinking of getting more New Zealand and Phillipines currency, but am buying gold and silver on the dips. Its obvious to say that you should have a ready bag, self-defense firearms and ammo. (BLOAT).
Good luck, and stay prepared.
