Disillusioned American Liberal Looking for a New Country. Suggestions?
Obama has been the straw that broke my confidence in our country's ability to avoid outright oligarchy/corporate hegemony. I feel like a person without a home now. I don't recognize the Democratic Party anymore...at least the one that I thought was for social justice and providing for the "greater good." I am depressed about the course of our country and the President who essentially lied his way into office as a populist progressive.
Thankfully, I spent hard hours at school to obtain an advanced degree in the sciences and have some freedom to relocate my family. I'm uncertain as to where, though. Ideally, I would like to settle in a country where the economy is stable, immigrants from America are not problematic, and liberal/progressive ideals are the norm.
Not to sound too melodramatic, but in the back of my mind I don't want my family to be like those who didn't get out of occupied Germany during the early 30s when the opportunity still existed. I fear that a window for relocation may be closing...a thought I never believed would ever enter my mind.
Any suggestions?

I suggest Chavez land aka Venezuela, Cuba if you like warm weather, or if your prefer cooler weather North Korea.

31. I talked with a couple who had retired to France. They were required to have
lots of money in an account which was essentially "frozen" by the government to assure that they would not become a burden and destitute. They were both early retired doctors, early 60s. I got the feeling they had lots of money. They found a little house in Tours. Since they had no kids they weren't bound up in the U.S. any more. They sold the house they had back in PA.
One of the issues they anticipated was how to deal with their status vs. paying into Medicare. They have an attorney there helping them.
How nice of the Govt to freeze their money for them.

32. Just do us a favor after you leave, please.
Don't come on DU and constantly post about what a shithole we who have stayed live in.
:lmao:
You can tell those who have never left the USA. Anyone who has ever been to another country would never say the USA is a shithole.

Please leave. The door out of the country is as open as the one being used to get in. Problem is none of you jackwagons actually leave.

Bobbo is certainly making a closing run for DUmmy of the year. :-)

It's times like these I wish I had a mole at DU, because I would literally follow Bobbo the Hobo around and answer her questions.
Yes, you can just suck it up. Or you can shut up and get a job and make something of your life.

I know. But it would be gloriously fun.
I don't get why Bobbo is such an entity over there. The whining makes me want to slap the shit out of her. My four year old whines less!

I dunno why they tolerate her. I know she provides us with tons of amusement.
If she is a mole, then she is the best mole ever. :-)

I hear North Korea is lovely this time of year.
Cuba is a tropical paradice with healthcare for all.
Mecca is simply heavenly and very gay friendly.
Pakistan/Afghanistan are exciting places with a low cost of living.

And no complaints at all about other Countries screening non-citizens coming in and trying to avoid them becoming a burden? what a novel concept that we should start doing here.

Move to DUmb****istan. A fantasy land for someone with their head up their ass.

Yeah it's funny the only people who get bashed for wanting to control who comes in their country is, us.
