but Can’t do so in the United States

Smoke in any Restaurant you visit.

Put up a “Girly Picture” on your Wall at work.

Drink a beer at your desk at work on Friday.

Buy Codeine-Enhanced Aspirin over the counter.

Pay only 15% in total taxes instead of 60%.

Smoke a fine cigar at a work meeting (Ash trays in all the rooms).

Be a Male Chauvinist.

I just want to make a point.

You can probably cash a $3000 travelers check without having it reported to the government.

[Recovering_Democrat]

good points, but this is still the country of choice for me.

How come things like not only learning a new language but a whole new alphabet, having electric blackouts, and the phone never working are never mentioned on threads like these.

11. Calculate your taxes without having an advanced math degree because of the flat tax.

Yep, I work in a casino, and we have a new position just filled for a "Title 31 specialist". Not knowing what that was, I looked it up. It's the enhanced version of the currency transaction reporting requirements that used to stipulate reporting cash transactions over $10,000.

Now, the trigger point is $3000, and you just don't give a name and SS# anymore. Your address, DOB, race, eye and hair color, height, weight, build, etc. etc. are listed on a form, which is presumably given to the IRS/DEA/FBI/INS, et al.

And they can legally own and set-off fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July ... Maryland sux.

Yeah but you cant take more than $500 out of the country, even if you are going to be away for two weeks.

I already do some of those things here in America. Am I in trouble?

America: A 21st-Century Soviet Union?

12. Buy a ticket to fly to the International Space Station. (If you have 20 million dollars)

Your confession has been duly noted, Comrade. Now please turn off your computer and wait for the knock on the door.

[MarineDad]

Could this possibly mean that they sent all their pin-headed control weenies over here, and that they're finally rid of them? If so, how do we go about sending them packing yet again?

We have all of this and much more in California (the Land of Fruits and Nuts).
