How you like to share a foxhole with somebody who puts money before country?

I resonate with your argument. But here is my counterpoint-- "Is it really your country anymore?"

America, as we knew it, was founded by people who left tyranny, persecution, and/ or poverty in order to be free and prosperous. But if the U.S. government now oppresses, persecutes, and impoverishes us-- what then? Obama's transformed "Amerika" will not be the country that I was/ am willing to die to defend.

I am ashamed to admit that I have been having thoughts about becoming an ex-patriate-- even though I served this nation as an Army officer. But where would one go?

If Obama is given a second term and his socialist fellow travelers regain control of Congress-- we will be finished. I think that then we will be facing a revolution and/or civil war within a decade.

With apologies these people wanting to protect their wealth are not one step from the poor house. The country where they made their money is worth some extra bucks. People give a lot more for their country than money.

Tingle Barry is cluing you in on some of the nice places to go by attacking them out of the blue.

Look into Honduras and the Falklands.
