1. Don’t you have to pay U.S. income taxes even if living abroad?
2. The best and brightest will leave, probably to countries like New Zealand and become citizens there. New Zealand is not interested in older people or the uneducated/unskilled as immigrants.
As a Boomer who followed all the rules, I'm getting a little tired of this.
We keep forgetting which generation gave us Social Security and Medicare, the "Greatest Generation."
This is something we may see if we don’t get back the WH in 2013. The US could be the magnet by lowering taxes and attracting UK and EU talent. In 20 years, Europe may have Sharia law, not so good for business.
On the contrary, the road to socialism could be set in stone in the US with passage of 0bamacare. Many boomers will be looking to populate emigrate enclaves as they transition to retirement. The weather and the health care will be better. Maybe I’ll go Costa Rica and bump into Rush getting a medical procedure. I have also been helping my high school girls with foreign languages.
No, I might happy to get rid of the dead weight of liberals and maybe a few welfare brats.
My son in college was taking a US government course taught by a self-admitted ACLU socialist. This professor took glee in the fact that the kids in the class were going to be his debt slaves and take care of him when he retired. My son told him he was nuts, that his generation would toss him in the gutter to live in a cardboard box and think nothing of it. When the rest of the kids chimed in to support my son, the professor suddenly got the look of a deer in the headlights.
The “chump” generation has no concern about taking care of their elders. When they are in charge, the boomers better get ready for some hard times.
already happening... as i speak from experience

My buddies and I talked about this. Poland seems attractive. But I am American, damnit. We are a race of people unto ourselves. Why should we leave? It is our turn to be like our founding fathers and start our own revolution.
The time to drive those who seek to take away our God given right to the sea has come.
“but I wonder what they’ll say when their own children seek greener pastures abroad in 10 or 20 years?”
Leaving the country will be illegal by then. They will be forced to stay.
“Will (they) leave the US.....”
Where will they go? Seriously?
“Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Chile”
Do you really think these places are better? LOL Mexico. Chile. Yeah, right.
At least could’ve said Singapore or such.
Going back to Korea is on my mind a lot and I’m not a Millineal.
