If you could afford to move out of the U.S. would you

This is just a poll to see if people had a chance to denounce there US citizenship and move overseas would you.If yes tell me why.

 

well, I'm not wanting to denounce my citizenship, but I am going to be moving to spain within a year or so since my wife is from there...and I'm working on getting my irish citizenship....so yea, I am wanting/planning to get out.

I'm sick of the rules and regulations here I guess...there are a few places i wouldn't mind living here, places in cali/NY, but I'd just assume get away and have more of an adventure rather than sticking around somewhere so familiar and headed in such a bad direction.

Maybe I'm just wanting to not live in a superpower place where everybody gets all fired up and patriotic at the drop of a hat.

Allthat said, I know there are good things and good people in the USA, but I see its glory days as being in the past.

 

By the way, welcome fellow 33 year old

 

I Really Wouldn't Want To Denounce My Citizenship Either, But If I Could Move Out Of The Country, I Would In A Heartbeat...Have Always Wanted To See Bali : )

 

Yes but not the US

 

I would move yes - I don't see much of a problem with losing my citizenship, I'd like to be able to continue to vote to try and get the republicans out of their seats of power, but in the end Im not afraid to stop being a citizen of the states. Europe is so much more free right now politically.

 

No = but would love to spend a long vacation in cuba when castro falls.

 

i put no because i substituted my own country (canada) for the US

 

depends on whos willing if any will have me!!!

 

I don't like the way the US does a lot of things...the political system is fucked...has been for awhile. We stick our noses in where they don't belong. What happened to isolationism? I also don't like how we take advantage of a lot of other countries of the world and the way we treat our natural environment. Forget it.

I'd love to move to New Zealand. The people are great and it's sort of like a little world all its own. But I've heard it's really hard to get citizenship there, so it will probably never happen.

 

All of you who said "yes" are ungreatful sods. Be bloody happy that you get the chance to live in the US. People would kill to be able to live there, I've seen lines of literaly thousands of people in the hot sun just waiting for an interview for a work visa... with 99% of them getting rejected.

I would do alot for a Greencard, be bloody happy you are citizens.

 

In 1927, the American millionaire Irenee Dupond purchased 180 hectares of land on the Hicacos Peninsula for 90 000 pesos. In this land, over a rocky hill and by the sea shore, he built the house he had dreamed of.

This master piece of architecture was designed by architects Covarrocas and Govantes, and features 11 bedrooms and bathrooms, three spacious terraces from where to have a unique view of the beach and gardens, seven balconies and a private dock.



In 1932 Mr Dupont installed an organ in his property, and it’s been alleged ever since to be the largest privately owned organ throughout Latin America, worth 11 000 dollars. The American Millionaire used to visit the Mansion Xanadu a few months per year, and sometimes invited important guests and executives to discuss business and relax.


The timber for the ceilings, stairs and columns was brought from Santiago de Cuba, while valuable pieces of marble from Cuba, Spain and Italy were used to build the floors and bathrooms. The final cost of the construction works was around 1 300 000 dollars and finished on December 30th, 1930.

In the gardens you will find a lot of coconut trees, which make a perfect combination with the beach shore line bellow. Along with them you can see banana, avocado and papaya trees. To increase the enchanting of this paradisiacal place, parrots and cockatoos were imported from distant lands.

The decoration is still untouched at this magnificent house, and the valuable pieces of china, the paintings and furniture, will amaze even the most experienced visitor. The natural environment surrounding the house, where the best and clearest Caribbean waters bath the very white sand at your feet, and the breeze whispers in the afternoons over the green gardened hill, makes this place the perfect spot to rest, relax and appreciate the immense blue.​

The Golf course with 9 holes, built in 1931, is still operational and works in association with the complex, giving this way an added value to the installation.


Mr.Dupont visited Xanadu for the last time In March 1957.




On December 12th, 1963, with Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova ( the first woman to conquer the out space ) as guest of honour, The Mansion Xanadu opened as "Las Americas" Restaurant. That same day, Irenee Dupont passed away at the age of 85 in the US

ok, i said yes, but i need to clarify, when bush stole the 1st election i swore i'd move into a tipi in australa.. but couldnt afford to.. when he wsas elected again i was actualy on a plane to canada when it was announced.. but i came back.. i love living here for mamny reasons but hate it for many more.. i would love to move to belize (easier to get into then new zealand annie..wanna go?) as far as denouncing my citizenship.. i personaly donrt beleive in citizenship, borders..us & them..why are you supposedly so different cause you were born just across the border? i am an earthling.. i was born on turtle island (north american continent) i will defend the earth, however i refuse to defend any "country" or "government" who claims rulership over me based on where i happened to be born.

 

Amen soaringeagle, you have it right!

And I don't know if i'd want to live in Belize or not because I've never visited...

Maybe I should go visit and find out!

 

The beach next to the mansion . Today a hotel .

 

lets put it this way: if I have to explain why, then you arent ready to know.

 

if i could afford to move out of the US, i would have done it about 30 years ago. when bush was making noises about invading iraq, finally i did move out. but i have not yet renounced my US citizenship only because i have to be here five years before i can get a permanent residence permit. until then i'm living here ironically enough under the auspices of the "dutch american friendship treaty."

the thing to remember is that you can *denounce* governments and policies without *renouncing* your citizenship. i suppose you can also denounce your citizenship, but that would be like criticizing your hair color.

if some people want to live in america and others do not, why does that make anyone ungrateful? they just want different things.
