Name the country where a person can be more free than the United States.

Then tell me why you don't live there.

Most of Eastern Europe has low taxes and relatively small government. No matter what the law says, they sure don't have the resources to implement a police state. Singapore has a very open economic and social environment, and, except for cars, low taxes. Those are the places I have direct experience with. I own a house and some additional land in an Eastern European country, and may relocate there if my business uses engineering talent from that country. I alsready have dual citizenship. There are many places in the former Soviet empire that take freedom very seriously because everyone there remembers when they did not have it.

Governments are a market in freedom. Those that don't deliver deserve to lose their most productive people. The U.S. will be like Argentina in 20 years - an unimportant place filled with prideful chauvanists who cannot see how far behind they have fallen.
