such shallow mindedness always makes me wonder if these people should even be allowed to vote?
I have lived all over the world working for my company for 34 years. I am now retired. One thing I can tell these idiots, try to get a residency permit, much less a work permit in another country and see what they will tell you? It isn't easy.
Medicare will not pay any of their medical costs while in another country. When confronted, they will just complain and demean the US.
Exactly. You'll notice that "Charles and Marilyn" are already rich and retired. (How they acquired all that money and all those material possessions while hating business and materialism, I haven't a clue.) They are, for the most part, the only kinds of people that other countries will take in: The independently wealthy. And even then it's a matter of basically living out the rest of your life one six-month tourist visa at a time.
Other that that, you haven't any hope unless you have some kind of direct family connection to someone who is already a citizen of that country, or happen to be skilled in one of the very few fields where the country itself can't find enough of its own citizens to fill the jobs.

The best part is, Candian healthcare won't pay their costs either. Every time they get sick, they'll either have to pay through the nose to use the horrible Canadian system that citizens get for "free," or have to return to the U.S. Either that or they'll have to get some wonderfully expensive private insurance.
