"Aren't all Americans descended from people that bugged out?"

I am. My mother's family fled Europe with the rise of fascism. They lost everything, and arrived in America with nothing but the clothes on their backs. In the fullness of time, they rebuilt their lost fortune. Worst case scenario bug out, I say we enlist the American descendants of Germans, Scots, and Irish, and take Mexico and Central America for our own. Best thing that could ever happen to the place. Worked for Texas. That should keep everybody busy for the next few centuries.

I've kinda thought that there should be main topics everyone should consider when they become of political maturity. If there are about 150 countries on the earth then there would be the same number of political systems. And so when a person becomes politically aware they would choose their system. My system would be Protestant Christian, flat income tax, acreage tax but not on buildings or businesses nor endless fees, free trade, right to work, death penalty, gun rights, information state rather than nanny state. Then I would move to that system at the age of political maturity. Someone else may be close to what I want but may believe in tariffs for instance, that would be a different country. That would eliminate a lot of complaining because you picked your own system instead of trying to push others into your system. lol
