"You won't find it because the US cost of living is pretty much higher than anyplace else on the planet. ... And Japan is a prime example!!"

Then you know nothing of the world. Japan's costs of living are VASTLY higher than the U.S.

A simple taxicab ride in Tokyo costs $200.

Real estate in Japan, Hong Kong, Tehran, and Moscow are all VASTLY higher than anywhere (even San Francisco and New York) in the U.S. even though their average salaries are all lower.

Nope. It costs more to live in Hong Kong than in the U.S. Ditto for Japan, Moscow, and a host of other places.

Try responding to my main point. I mean, It's clear you read enough to edit me into saying Japan doesn't have a high cost of living - which I didn't say. But you don't seem, any of you, to be able to respond to the central point. None of them are screwing their own people to get around their own laws, constitutions, etc. Only you free traitors here in the US as the others call you are doing that. And one wonders why all of you ignore it and run from it like the plague on every thread that addresses it if it's so proper.
