It's time to leave America. Take your ball and go home. Without a productive and innovative tax base, the country will eventually collapse, and future generations can reclaim the land. In the meantime - be elsewhere.
It's time to leave America.
There's a lot of focus on the Euro zone right now, for good reason, but the wealthiest countries in the world are all in Europe -- and they're doing fine. They're also all steeped in a tradition of social programs and tax structures to make sure that greed doesn't get the upper hand. It's no coincidence.
300 million won't leave America. Most can't. Try to move to, say, a European country as an American and you will be shown the door. Leaving isn't an option.
The only option is to affect political change: Eliminate Congress and move to a direct democracy; dilute the powers of the president. Take control again. It's simply ours for the taking. Simply stop the economy from working until these changes take place. Stop protesting -- asking for what's yours. Take it. Park in a busy intersection in your home town; stall at a toll booth. Take some friends and hold up the subway at rush hour, every day. Go on strike. Stop protesting and begging. Shut it down -- and they will beg you.
