[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2125485, member: 24302"] They don't have an infinitely better system. Where are all these dissenters being harassed by the FBI? And unlike many countries, we have agencies to help the homeless, etc. If people die in the street here, it's usually a mental health issue. Every country in the world has it's issues. IMO our's is we're too expensive in many areas which makes it tough to get by. Too many countries though wish they had that problem. There's no perfect place and the grass truly isn't greener elsewhere. I've been looking at living overseas for close to 20 years and what it comes down to is finding a place that has an infrastructure that is tolerable considering I'm coming from a place with great infrastructure. There are only two areas where developing nations can compete with the U.S. that I've seen: costs and climate. Some places have incredibly nice climates and are affordable. One has to decide if limited infrastructure, widespread poverty, and often safety issues are worth living cheaply in a mild climate. I've found a very nice city with very good internet, safe, good food, friendly people who mostly speak English fairly well. Climate sucks but more importantly wife doesn't want to go. They have a national healthcare system too. But I don't want to leave because I hate the U.S., which too many of our citizens seem to do. Just want to retire with dignity. [/QUOTE]
