Ok, so theres a million people who will bash America, but no one who can suggest a better country to live.Why?

Muslims countries are the most wonderful places to live. Nothing like sniffing asses five times a day. Not to mention all the awsome car-bombings and suicide bombings.

Death to America!

P.S. please send more foreign aid

It's interesting how few answers you got on this question. If you made some kind of anti-American statement you would have got 30 or more answers.

What you say is simply and manifestly untrue. Many people say that Canada, or Switzerland or Finland or Sweden or France or Britainor any of dozens of other countries (but those are among the favorites) are "better" places to live.

It all depends on their criteria: culture (I was in central Florida and couldn't find any . . .), education (who wants to be burdened with creationism when science and maths are what you need to know), public transport, social services and so on.

For those to whom money and the making of it mean everything, or most everything, perhaps you are right.

Except that the US hasn't the lowest taxes when you take state taxation and real estate into account. For the wealthy ("coupon clippers"), there are better places to live and pay tax. If you check the Federal Register you will see that Americans do renounce citizenship sometimes. Here's one: http://uniset.ca/misc/css/TCM1992-187.htm

Moreover, the present Administration has plundered the Treasury and depleted the Clinton surplus, distributing it to the very, very rich with tax cuts. And they have mortgaged the future of your grandchildren to the Chinese and other foreigners. (I won't elaborate on the economics of that, but to borrow from abroad has far greater significance to the well-being of future generations than to borrow from Americans, i.e., from pension funds, etc.)

So: the dollar will depreciate unless interest rates are raised so high that mortgages and other loans become unaffordable.

oh lots bash and lots think something is better but often they havent lived here, we arent perfect, but i wont go anywhere else.
