If taxes become too onerous, I’m a dual citizen … cut and run, baby 🙂 Leave America to its fate.

A shame really, because it’s a beautiful country founded on beautiful ideas. The problem is that at least 50% of the people who live here are too rock-dumb to appreciate that fact.

But right now, I’m here because I see this country as easily exploitable. If I’m freelance as well as owning income property, I can have the benefits that most Europeans get (flexible vacations + steady income) without the drawbacks.

All this being said, I’m not opposed to taxes that actually PAY for things other than slaughter of innocents in the Middle East. A tax-supported health-care system is a good thing, and should have been implemented 50 years ago.
