Why not go to a Socialist Paradise?

Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea

We kicked around that possibility — in 2008 because of Obama. Glad we stayed. Wouldn’t have missed the 2016 election for anything!

Another ‘cold open’ cliche from the lefty media. Another lefty media story presenting anecdotes as empirical evidence. Another poorly disguised hate-Trump rant.

So six people/families are leaving the US. My God, that’s 1.76470588e-8 per cent of America! Who will make the electricity? The coffee? The steaks?

There is a very LARGE difference between PREPARING to leave and actually leaving. Between threat and action.

Eleanor may find that Poland is maintaining the role of religion in its culture and that it is the nation most disapproving of homosexuality. In both cases it isn’t afraid to say so.

Schwab may find that Spain is crippled economically especially in relative terms and that high taxes will be snaffled up with little to show for it.

Israel? Nuff said. Nice place, historic place, important place. But it’s tiny and obviously has some trouble with the neighbors.

Australia will put anyone through the wringer who’s visiting. They will put anyone who wants a work permit through the wringer multiple times and the answer still might be no.

Good one. Wrote mine before I saw yours.

As I said, a hack writer seeking validation not facts will come up with some doozies.

People move country all the time for advantages they perceive elsewhere. Nothing new about that. The media drawing conclusions or beating up stories. Nothing new about that. Blaming it on a President who is growing the economy. Now that’s something new

One commenter at the site claimed they’d moved to a third world hellhole but ‘their meds were $2/month now.’ Hope they enjoy dysentery. Or armed revolution.

Another commenter actually said ‘US health care is a joke.’

Yes, that’s why every drug, surgical technique, equipment design, etc. is innovated here.

“Interesting. Spain is a country the pansy left has done a good job on wrecking.”

My Trump hating niece is heading there next week.

They will see just how difficult it is to immigrate to some nations. Glad to see them go.

Good riddance, I hope it accelerates.

They report this like it's a bad thing. I agree - good riddance to bedwetting a**holes.

But one thing you learn while living abroad of course is how America and American culture truly does run the world and that whoever is in charge here sets the tone for everywhere else.

That's why the former Soviet Union, NK, Cuba and other workers paradises do their dead level best to keep news from their citizens.

Americans are not flocking to the exits, but some of them are thinking about it, and some are talking about it, and at least a few are acting on the idea.

In MSM speak this is one person that went to Ireland to play golf for a week.

You are correct. Filipinos mimic almost everything American and lots dream of going to the land of gold.

What is truly interesting is when you explain the cost, (in the states), of housing, food, utilities, transportation, (along with a tutorial on mortgages), and explain that the wages they hear about are not beginner wages but take years in the job market before you can attain that level, then their eyes open.

They see a wage of $2,000 a month as rich because they are used to getting paid $5-10 a day and the cost of food here is low when you eat fish, rice and vegetables mostly.

By all means, all liberals need to leave. The end of the rainbow is ......... somewhere else.

The pot of gold? America, when all the liberals vacate.

... not necessarily Canada ... because work visa qualifications there are tight.

How does the author avoid calling Canada's leadership racist?
