True enough and good advice. I am one of those actively looking to relocate to another country. I'm in search of a country that offers a better quality of life overall. A more social government. America's life or liberty approach has almost become biblical, and that lack of rational thinking prevents a government from implementing what the people want because people don't truly have an impact on elections as much as lobby's and donations do. Therefore we slip into an Oligarchy situation. We have a constitution which allows take over from any entity that has the money to control it. It's a hostile environment and you can tell the difference watching the people of America fight for the divide, which is easily controlled with money.
Countries that prevent intrusion from big-money influences have a much better quality of life and a unity you can't find here in America. Most Americans hold on to the idea of the get rich quick scheme and feel completely justified, a constitution in hand, to step on whoever it takes to survive. I hardly blame them but yes, looking for another way of life is encouraged for those who feel an Ologarcy system lacks fairness and doesn't offer a quality of life that included health, education, and welfare for its people. America is every man for themselves and that caveman mentality can really wear you down.
On top of that, the religious influence in politics and the political influence in public health is making it near impossible to come together as a nation and fight or protect ourselves from anything. It has left us broke, afraid, and very vulnerable. You just can't get it together last minute in an emergency. These measures need to be in place before the emergency arises and Americans just aren't used to that kind of security. Our government and our people live paycheck to paycheck. It's the kind of mix that brings a country down a notch. We keep sliding down the quality of life list to the point that some of our states are now on par with 3rd world countries. And with that, the divide will just increase.
Leave if you can. There are a lot of countries out there that pull off what America claims is impossible. There are countries where it really matters who you vote for, and what you want and good quality of life.
