Jonathan Turley said that this morning. This naked power grab for single-party rule has me looking elsewhere for a better ROI on 'government'. In short, this country has gone full-blown retarded on this opiate of critical race theory and woke mob rules. Time for a change ahead of the mass exodus that's coming.
According to these charts the OECD average is 33.7%. Of the OECD countries only Mexico, Ireland and Chile fall below the US average. Chile and Ireland are democracies. Mexico is a broken country so it's out-of-the-running.
But then there's also the case of who pays their "fair share." In my case I pay more than the US average of 24.3%. When you add property tax and Texas sales tax I'm at or slightly above the 33.7% OECD average. So any country below it is fair game for emigration; providing it's a democracy, isn't in a war zone (Israel), has decent healthcare, a free press and "decent" weather. New Zealand and Australia are in China's sphere of influence so they're out. When the US sneezes Canada catches a cold, so it's out. That leaves Latvia, Lithuania, Switzerland in addition to Ireland and Chile. I like the idea of living in the southern hemisphere in the event of a nuclear exchange so Chile looks promising.
You know, it's said JFK's father knew when to get out of the stock market when his shoe shine guy said he was buying stocks.

Cynthia and Edd Staton are thoroughly enjoying retirement in their 3,000 square-foot penthouse apartment. They have a housekeeper, eat out frequently, never fret about health care costs, and indulge in yoga classes and visits to the gym. It's a fine way to spend their golden years — in Ecuador.
The Statons said the decision to retire outside the U.S. came in the wake of the financial crisis a decade ago, when their retirement nest egg lost value and they were faced with retiring at a lower standard of living than they had expected. More Americans have followed their lead. The number of retirees who draw Social Security outside the U.S. jumped 40%, to more than 413,000, between 2007 to 2017, according to the Social Security Administration.
"Being an economic refugee is going to be more and more popular as things get weirder and more expensive in the U.S.," Prescher predicted. "You should move abroad because you want to try a foreign culture. The economic benefit is icing on the cake."
