Bidenomics: Poll shows one out of five Americans would rather quit the country?

Is the American Dream dead?

A disturbing new TIPP poll suggests something like it, with the young most inclined to want to leave the country, fueled by financial stress.

According to TIPP:

Over one in five Americans express a strong desire to permanently move to another country if given the opportunity, according to a recent Golden/TIPP Poll of 1,480 Americans nationwide.

Financial considerations significantly drive this desire.

Young adults exhibit the strongest yearning. Interestingly, Democrats and liberals are more inclined to leave, while Republicans and conservatives hold a contrasting sentiment.

The online survey was conducted from May 3 to 5. The survey’s credibility interval (CI) is +/- 2.8 percentage points, meaning the study is accurate to within ± 2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Americans been surveyed.

It wouldn't be surprising, given the Orwellian turn of our government with its mass surveillance and data-gathering, as well as a widespread sense that our elections are dishonest and our votes count for nothing.

But the big driver of this 'get the hell out' sentiment is economic.

TIPP notes that Americans have lost faith in their financial futures:

In simple terms, financial considerations are the main driving force.

When comparing the two groups - those who want to leave and those who want to stay - across eight financial concerns, we consistently observe a significantly higher number of individuals wishing to quit expressing financial worries than those who want to remain.

Curiously, it’s young liberals who lead the pack, perhaps because they were never taught to love America in the first place, or perhaps because the Democrats cheated them early when the rigged the 2020 Democrat primaries to shut out their favored candidate, Bernie Sanders.

But where to go? (scratches head).

Unfortunately, I always thought Australia or Canada would be a great backup plan. That was way back when.

TIPP notes that those considerations are as follows:

• Maintaining your current standard of living: 81% of those wanting to move abroad express concerns, compared to 67% of those wanting to stay in the U.S.
• Having enough savings for retirement: 78% of those wanting to move abroad have worries, while 64% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. share the same concern.
• Being able to pay medical or health care costs: 71% of those wanting to move abroad express this concern, in contrast to 58% of those wanting to stay in the U.S.
• Ability to pay utility bills: 66% of those wanting to move abroad worry about this, while 56% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. have similar concerns.
• Affording mortgage payments or rent: 64% of those wanting to move abroad express concerns, whereas 49% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. share this worry.
• Making on-time credit card payments: 56% of those wanting to move abroad express this concern, compared to 45% of those wanting to stay in the U.S.
• Making on-time auto loan/lease payments: 50% of those wanting to move abroad worry about this, while 36% of those wanting to stay in the U.S. have similar concerns.
• Financing children's education

If those spoiled crybullies hate America, they are more than welcome to leave.

They are upset that they don’t have everything their parents’ worked to acquire their entire lives. They yearn for monthly government payments and free healthcare. They actually believe that capitalism is bad and that forced participation through socialism is better.

Where in the Angloshpere can you go to when America declines? The very prescient Ronald Reagan once said it best...

[OHPatriot]

Hey young Liberals, do the rest of us a favor and leave. No one will stop you. However, your decision needs to be a ONE WAY TRIP. Go to your Liberal Utopia Paradise.

JUST DON’T COME BACK!!!!

[ConservativeInPA]

I want to go Galt. Anyone want to join me?

[MeganC]

If 20% would like to leave then be gone from us and may posterity forget that they were our countrymen.

[MeganC]

You don’t want to go to Galt. Trust me on this.

“Democrats and liberals are more inclined to leave,”

Yes and I agree with you ..... “JUST DON'T COME BACK!!!”

But does that mean all of our new visitors from the south are conservative Republicans?

I ... don't ...get it...

[cowboyusa]

Great! 10,000 for all leftists to leave.

“Democrats and liberals are more inclined to leave,”

Then WHY DON’T THEY?!?!

[MayflowerMadam]

Bittersweet.

[Salman]

I loved the old free USA, but it's gone for good.

If I were young I'd make getting out my ambition, as I did getting out of NYC forty years ago.

[devere]

Switzerland, if you can afford it.

[ConservativeInPA]

I’m not stepping foot in CA ever again. Add NY, IL and several other states to the list.

As the singer Eric Burdon sang in 1968 (San Franciscan Nights)—

I wasn’t born there
Perhaps I’ll die there
There’s no place left to go

Except I was born here. Still true there’s no place left to go. I will stay here and fight for my country.

How many out of five want to throw out haters and invaders?
