If Obamanomics really did a number on our nation and you had to flee, where would you want to go?

Please discuss your reasons for your choice.

This poll is multiple choice. If you like, you may choose more than one.

Costa Rica, Dominica, maybe Belize

Costa Rica and Belize because they have good diving, whitewater, hiking, etc. lots for an outdoor person like me to enjoy

Dominica because of it's remoteness, gorgeous diving, over 300 rivers, and untouched wilderness. I would love to go retire there in a small house with a big garden and fishing pole.
 
Costa Rica ranks high on the list for me.

Ill say howdy to Rush for ya guys:mrgreen:
 
I'd go to Switzerland, for obvious reasons. Panama is supposed to be nice these days as well. Probably the easiest place for me to go though would be China. At least there they are moving toward a free market instead of away from it like we are now. Also the corruption maze is easier to navigate, and the more money you have, the more rights you've got.
 
Belgium! We've got universal healthcare, gay marriage and abortion is legal. Bad point is that it rains 363 days/year on average.
 
I have gotten through a Reaganomics and two Bushes, I doubt there is anything Obama can do to drive me out of the country. If I did move out of the country, it would be to go to Majorca.
 
I'd like to go to Germany or Australia. Realistically, Canada.

don't forget prostitution is legal.
 
Antigua.


I have contacta there, family there, and i could start an internet casino! :thumbs:

Ooh, forgot about Antigua. I want to go there someday. My parents went back in the 1980's and a friend of mine went about a year ago, and they both said they liked it a lot.

since i would be there for the beer, the rain would not be a problem

does belgium require prospective immigrants to show a cash net worth of $1 million (US) like switzerland does?

but i am looking at belize at the moment. plan to soon visit to see if it is a practical move - at least for the winters
 
Costa Rica. Canada would be a choice, but it's too damn cold.

p.s. If the U.S. economy tanks, all of the nations you've listed above will not be viable options since their economies are heavily dependent on our own.

I would not flee America. I would hope that if **** ever got so bad to cause people to leave I would hope that people would stay and revolt.

i am speculating your fate in such a circumstance would not be unlike that of the tories at the conclusion of the revolutionary war
 
Like what? I'm really curious what would tempt a Libertarian from Texas to move here.
Well, I have some college hours in German, so I could probably pick that back up, and I had some French in high school, so maybe I could get that going again, too.

The ability to own firearms is a big plus, and so is the highly-developed banking industry there.

Oh, and the chocolate, the flora and fauna, the mountains and so forth.

Those are good reasons. :)

Just so you know though, firearms ownership is heavily regulated here. Getting a conceal carry permit is damn near impossible for a civilian. Also, we have mandatory health insurance.

Meh, I don't need a CWP.

Your country is pretty slick, I like it's independent nature and the strong privacy laws.
I also like your government structure.

You'll also like how everything is expensive. The cost of a macdonalds meal with tax would be like 14e's.

I've read about the firearms laws previously and they seem rigorous from a US perspective. I don't have a concealed-carry permit here either, so no big deal.

And if I were leaving the US, mandatory health care wouldn't rank very high on my list of concerns.

Salaries are much higher than the European average here. It evens out in the end. Plus, depending on where you live, you can go across the border to France, Germany or Italy for cheaper groceries and restaurants, including McDonalds.
 
Idaho...and for those of you that dont think Idaho is another country...you dont know dammit! :)

Yeah, me too. I like the way the Federal gov is constantly kept in check. I like that most of the power is still with the individual cantons (states).
