Please Keep Quiet

Ok, Mr. David Utterback; your post of 01jun09... to paraphrase!

"It would be greatly appreciated if U.S. News and World Report would continue to monitor..."

IS A BIG MISTAKE!!!

Read "are you nuts"?

Drawing attention to one-self is the most expedicious way for the IRS to be pounding down your door, and/or pressuring a foreign banking instution to cough up your account information for income tax purposes... as they are doing as we blog today.

The U.S. has become nothing more than what "they" in the past have accused other "less developed" countrys. Welfare states that oppress their peoples.

The U.S. government is intersted in nothing but, through(the iron fist of totallitarian facism and dictatorship), thank you Mr. Taylor of AZ; crushing it's citizens with over-taxation leading to all of us living under a bridge over-pass.

To anyone believing even for a second that our government has even the most remote concern for us needs to get their head out of the sand YOU STUPID OSTRICH!

MR.T says "SHUT UP FOOL!

Good Night AmeriKa

What was once a beautiful country has succumbed to the iron fist of totallitarian facism. Soon the country I was born in and defended in the United States military will become everything Americans have fought and died for since our founding. Communism is innevitable. I break with thee.

LeavingAmerica

The article by U.S. News and World report entitled

"A Growing Trend of Leaving America" is most appreciated

as this is a major indicie in the economic struggle.

It would be greatly appreciated if U.S. News and World Report would continue to monitor and report on this topic and specifically what groups are leaving. Whom are these citizens, their income brackets, or if many are former illegals returning, and what groups are leaving?

no kinship with americans

Sorry, but I don't have any such feelings anymore. See, my people have been Americans since before there was an America. They were the English and Scottish settlers of the Carolinas and Georgia and were here long before there was a 'US'. They fought this country's wars and what do we get for it? People who just got off the boat call us 'rednecks' and bigots. Effete fools slander us as the villains of American history and blame EVERYTHING on us. After a lifetime of trying to deny it, I have come to one realization and that is that hate works both ways. Americans love to hate the South and Southerners. Fine. I wish my people would just leave and go somewhere else. We don't belong here anymore.

america is cursed

God hears the prayers of outraged people who curse america for killing their children and friends. It will not be long until the america rots into oblivion. God is good..

Emigrating from the US

As the USA lags in many of the OECD quality of life statistics, it's easy to see why so many Americans want out of their own country. Our capitalist economy is in ruins and cannot provide for the welfare of all the people, only for the very few, very rich.

Many of the civil rights Americans have taken for granted have been eviscerated. The government can now spy on its citizens without a warrant and does so. More and more Americans have ruined credit histories as the financial system collapses and the credit reporting agencies keep detailed records on every US citizen, something unheard of in most industrialised nations.

The health care "system" in the US is broken, corrupt, and restrictive. It is operated for the benefit of insurance companies and "health care providers" and HMOs, not for the citizens. As many as 50 million US citizens have no health insurance. There is no national health service and single payer health care for all is "off the table."

What surprises me is that there aren't more Americans looking for a better life elsewhere.

Panama City,Panama

excellent article. I would like to more about Panama ,the people , the cost of living, best time to take vacation and check it out,medical care etc.

U.S. Immigration abroad

We lived in the U.S. I being a Vietnam Veteran.

We struggled as medium income, losing ground over

medical bills with 100% coverage. I was a union employee

for 41 years, never having been laid off. When married

without children, as others, we could never afford a

vacation. My then wife and I were making twice the medium

income, but alas, it all went to taxes. Then later in

life being married with 5 children approaching retirement,

I was weary of medival vender fraud, endorsec by the state

statutes to rape our income, with 'billing by income,'

We could not see in the future paying for illegals bills in

our budget. At age 65 our medical premiums would have been

half out gross income. On top of that, the wifes became big headed, independent. As men in the U.S. being righteous, we did not enjoy the posterity of our forefathers, having no respect, being viewed as violators. In my last years working in a U.S.

corporate operting headquarters, if a woman got on an elevator, I would get off and take another elevator or walk the stairs, being fearful of any slander, as their pretentious words had power. It was not worth the risk of riding an elevator with one women who got on the elecator in America. Approaching age 65,

seeing how I had spent 30 hours a month a defending medical billing I had to keep volumes of books on each visit of my families appointments, as the billing was always attempting to defraud us by claiming nonpayment, and misdiagnoses to get insureance money. After my second divorce, which I filed, I was lost, not wanting to live alone, but wanting the Christian family I can only say God led me to marry a foreign woman.

This culminated with my divorcing her when she failed to come home from abroad and obtaining full custody of my two children,

I remarried with God's blessing another foreign woman. Now its 15 years of a good marriage. We left the United States being exasperated primarily by fraudulent medical billing, and keeping up the the failing economy which the Omaha World Herald

article stated that 50% of all new mortgages would fail. So, also seeing Senator Byrd lamenting on CSPAN with the bible in one hand and the U.S. constitution in the other, we boarded a flight to the Philippines where we settled. My two older children which I had the full custody could not acclilmate and went back to the United States. Our children here have allimated understanding the situation. I miss America, but the America I knew is gone. Basically we in the medium income bracket made us the slaves of the world, our guarantee of exercising privleges of citizenship under Article 4 Section 2 of the U.S. constitution was given to the illegals. We sought

medical with the states University Hospital set up for illegals but we were charged according to our income. This decompensated the years of hard work I accrued, giving our posterity, our heritage to illegals. The illegals via the law, were given our physical infrastructure.

I want to follow

I would love to move out of this country. Any suggestions or ideas of how I might be able to do this without having to pay someone to tell me how.
