I don't like the way America is going. I see rampant corporate and religious influence in government. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer (bad English). As there become more poor folks, religion rises. Then a whole truck load of despair is loaded on anyone who tries to think outside of the religious box depending on what community you are in.
Problem..... We are one of the few nations that struggles with a moral issue on keeping out illegal immigrants. In fact in any other country a legal immigrant must have either money or a useful (to that particular country) skill to become a citizen. I cant just cross a border and get a job even if i did do the job for less than a citizen of that country.
I am a associate degree Medical lad tech with over 10 years experience. However, that does not give me even a side ways glance from any other country.
I am currently looking into doing part time school on line but i do have a family to support and another 2 years of education will cost about 30,000+ $. At 45+ years of age it's not an easy decision.
I would love to live in countries like England, Germany, France, Iceland, or Australia.
So my rant is that I really hate when people say that like most of us have a choice to like it or leave. What they are really saying is "like or shut up and live with it."
You should stay. The Teabagger fuckwits who take up arms against the nation should go.
Please rethink your decision. America needs thinkers.
