"Even my family is pretty disappointed. And the fact is, it makes me pretty sad, too. But I just can't bear to pay taxes in the United States right now." This idiot broad's going to be shocked when she sees her first Canadian taxes paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I would hazard a guess that her bigger concern is where her money is going. 231302[/snapback] Really? I doubt it. If you are so desperate that you are moving to another country because you think it will improve your financial situation, I'd guess that the concern is your bottom line, rather than in the specifics of whichever gov't is pissing away your money.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I would hazard a guess that her bigger concern is where her money is going. 231302[/snapback] Yes, well, I'm sure her Democratic congresspeople and Senator would have a better idea than herself. She's actually doing our fair nation a favor by leaving, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Canadiens are lucky that we're their neighbor. They were able to completely gut their military to spend the money on socialistic programs because they don't have to worry about their national defense.

John Adams Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 ".....But I just can't bear to pay taxes in the United States right now." 231432[/snapback] Again, considering her POV, I think she's saying that she can't bear to pay taxes in the USA because she disagrees with where those taxes are going. I don't for one second think that she believes her taxes will be less. Of course, how should I know what she thinks. "Vote with your feet." Singapore, here I come.

Fan in San Diego Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Having grown up in Canada and being a dual citizen, I have the unique perspective of seeing the USA from a more neutral perspective. I think that most people outside of the USA cannot understand the USA's obsession with inter-jecting in other countries affairs. They(Other countries) have a leave em alone attitude unless there is a clear and present danger presenting itself. And as for land of the free, the government sure tells me how to live my life quite a bit. Dont get me wrong, I love living here and have no plans of moving ever. I prefer to try and vote for candidates that share goals similar to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 ".....But I just can't bear to pay taxes in the United States right now." 231432[/snapback] That says nothing about whether or not she can't bear it financially. In fact, it seemed more like she can't bear the thought of her tax money being spent by this administration...particularly given that she's moving to a country with much higher taxes.

Clearly she could be speaking either from a financial or emotional standpoint. Only she knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
