Yep and he also once supported a manditory insurance idea with the Heritage Foundation He has since changed his mind on that one But you can just keep hoping"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Under what conditions would the US prohibit your emigration out of the country? Note the first statement was a two parter - can leave a state, and can enter any state. If you leave the country, you need a destination. Certainly some are very friendly to ex-pat living, but not a majority I'd guess. Most grant visa stays for 30-90 days, and some are just as difficult as the US to issue visas at all. Also, if you don't fully break off, I think the US still wants its annual taxes from you. ** I briefly considered taking a transfer at my company to the Singapore office - the recreational opportunities within a couple hours flying was amazing. But it wasn't a serious offer - local pay meant 40% cut to live in a place even more expensive than San Diego or San Francisco. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

regulator 0 #55 November 16, 2011 I would think that of all the cantidates that are currently out there right now that Romney is the one who is most squeaky clean that even the most rigorous of liberal shakedowns wouldnt find anything on him...but he's also been associated with the fannie may and freddie mac debacles. So I guess the real question is which one would you choose? Mitt Romney (Giant Douche) or Herman Cain (Turd Sandwich) ? One can do the job probably better than the other, but has grabbed a few too many taints in his time, and the other is squeaky clean, but who knows if he can handle the pressure of the office. Its a crapshoot any way you look at it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
