Restarting Your Life Overseas
There are many people in the United States
who detest taxation so much, that they go to elaborate lengths to
safeguard their money in offshore tax havens and investments.
Thousands every year actually give up US citizenship so that they can
keep what they've earned and not have the Federal Government
constantly looking into their finances.
Generally we're talking very very
private people. I can understand that completely. But there is
absolutely no way on earth that I would ever give up citizenship. I
think some of these people are just nuts. For all of our problems that
we Americans truly have - like not knowing what kind of dress to buy
for the weekend, or What movie to see with your girl, or boy? How
about deciding on buying a home or condo. We now have live in such
luxury here in these United States, that
Forty-six percent of all poor
households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by
persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom
house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
Seventy-six percent of poor
households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36
percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
Only 6 percent of poor
households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two
rooms per person.
The average poor American has
more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London,
Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons
are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those
classified as poor.)
Nearly three-quarters of poor
households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.
Ninety-seven percent of poor
households have a color television; over half own two or more color
televisions.
Seventy-eight percent have a
VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
Seventy-three percent own
microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an
automatic dishwasher.
I just had to point all of this out because there are some that really
have a warped view of America. Especially in Europe and on Campus.

Understanding Poverty in America
Now for those of you who think that our poor have a hard time compared
with some of the average folks on earth - and definitely of 90+% of
the population of the planet, think again. Now for those of you whop
don't want to read that massively huge study, here's the
Exceutive Summary. Do yourself a favor and read this to understand
that we are living in the most advanced, most dominant, militarily and
culturally, nation to ever exist on earth. Not even Rome at it's
height had such dominance in it's day. In fact Rome had absolutely no
dominion over most of earth - especially Asia where China was a
leading civilization.
With that understood I do realize that for whatever reason, there
are many who still wish to leave America. Most are probably good folk
who are more internationalist. Check out the following website. It is
the source of any info that you need to invest or hide or relocate
resources and or yourself. I like it for the articles as well. You can
get an excellent education by reading some of the features at Escape
Artist. Enjoy!
