Good to know you’ve taken steps already. I’m just lining up my options now. After years in manufacturing and watching the gov’t destruction of thousands of good jobs, I have the feeling my future will sadly lie beyond these shores. I’ll do whatever I can to prevent that, but I can’t just hand everything to d.c. After years and years of 12+ hour days and weekends, to see some jerk who spent 10 minutes in the federal gov’t take it all away is too much to bear. Even if I come out Ok, I can’t help but think of all the people I know who lost so much.

I don't specify my personal case, which may or may not fll into those kinds of categories, but I can tell you the move(ment) and/or discussions among many extremely patriotic and conservative Americans overseas, including US military who would like to stay on after their stints in business or missionary work or students or what not in certain countries, the propensity is to try to sock it away from Uncle Vladimir (er) Uncle Sam's hand at this time until a Constitutional government with a fair taxation methodology is restored back home. Many cannot stand to see their hard earned money through years of work from long hours, responsible and wise spending and investing decisions and work ethic, savings/investments, 401ks, CDs, gold, stocks/profits, estates and inheritences, etc. go right straight into the pockets of welfare crack mommas with six kids and no father, or illegal aliens rushing and swarming US public services through Massive Socialist Redistribution Schemes based on Marx, Lenin, Mao and Engels. Which is what the people put in office at the end of 2008. Foolishly. What can I say? People vote their pocketbooks and often vote with their feet. Looking at this from a politico/social scientist perspectiv, including a dash of history and human nature, why should Obama's New and Changed America manifest any different outcomes and phenomenon than Erik Hoenecker's German Democratic Republic or Castro's Cuba?
