With the politics in America, I'd like to leave the US. It's not heading down a good route. I want to have my honeymoon in Italy so...
But then again, I'd like to be somewhere with crystal clear blue water and white sand beaches.
You
have crystal clear blue water and sand beaches already in the States. I think you meant to say "I'd like to be somewhere with intelligent and fair democratic leadership, which ideally
also has crystal clear blue water and sand beaches." Good luck with that. Europe's banks are in the sh*t just now though too. I would look into Italian politics before making a decision.
OT: The state of the country you are in varies depending on who is in leadership at the time. Things change. Would I want to be in the states right now? No. They will have to fix things though. Eventually it should get at least a little better and then would you go back? What happens when you politics in your new country get messed up? Will you go to a third country? I think this is relevant to most first-world countries. Stay where you are and stop complaining. Unless you live in Syria or somewhere with similar problems, you really don't realize how good you've got it.
You can't just 'move to another country' anyway. It's not like moving to another city. Canada at least, I doubt would take you in. What would you claim? Refugee status? Could you really stand in line behind a Syrian and say that?
We have a points system here which sucks anyway. Essentially you have to have higher education in a field we need. For instance, we need doctors. If you are a doctor, you would get enough points that we would take you in. Then you could either redo ALL your schooling so we will accept it and you can work here as a doctor or you can drive a cab for the rest of your life. But you could drive a cab LEGALLY in CANADA! WOOT! If you don't have any serious education and experience in a field we need though, tough. We don't just take in Americans because they are mad at their goverment.
I live in Canada and although things aren't as bad as in the states, we have our share of idiotic American ass kissing politicians. I wouldn't cling too close to my love of public health care for instance. You would think we wouldn't want to follow the states off a cliff, but "ZOMG they are our biggest export customers and their border is attached to ours! Quick do everything they say!" seems to be all our conservative government seems to do. I don't think the solution is leaving though.
Eventually, like always, the cuts will go too far and we will put a liberal or NDP in government to give it back to us. Then we will want more money and tax breaks start looking good, so we elect another conservative. *repeat until you're physical body dies.
