[ex-Texan]

Costa Rica is becoming a haven for American ex-patriots and tax frauds hiding in the open. Ticos are a very friendly people who have a government that promotes universal health care and free education for everybody. But Costa Rica has no standing army. The country is being taken over carefully by drug cartels and covert operatives from socialist states. Inch by inch they move into power behind a smoke screen of diplomatic immunity. The hotels are beautiful but some have huge brothels operating 24/7. Tico banks are laundering more money than Panamanian banks were when Bush, Sr. invaded to capture Noreiga.
