America is a scary place.

Even if America collapses, our corporations will still rule the world.

Yeah but Yuki is a hardcore democrat.

I don't take part in the partisan system, I'm under the belief that infighting and factions are the reason for unstable government.

Not really, because most of their assets are invested in US currency.

To blame the education system is just ten tons of irony.

But then again the people are too lazy to educate themselves afterwards. School is just a small kick, you provide the rest. Best example of true education, but you still need a degree; this isn't 1846.

After I go to school in Chicago I plan to move to Canada and try and get a job at Ubisoft, or some other video game place.

The only problem is that, if you do want to live somewhere else, It's best that you revoke your American citizenship because if you don't they will still tax you in whatever country you're living in. No seriously, even if you are living in a different country, you can still get taxed by the US gov.

Sounds handicapped.

Sounds handicapped.

Just another way for them to pull money out of everyone they can.

[Xeven]

It is. It is terribly handicapped. In the most literal way.

I really wish out government wasn't so money driven. It seems like that's all they care about. When will they realize that money is just a value placed on paper. The government should be run by the people, for the people. Not run by the rich and powerful, for the money.

The government isn't a machine, it's a configuration of people, who need money to operate, and the people they hire need money to do what they do, and so on and so fourth down the line. People don't do services for free, people don't manufacture and build for free. The government has to manage and control currency, it has to spend the same as any other operation, taxes are a way to collect revenue to spend on things that benefit the country. It's not handicapped, it makes absolute sense. If you're a citizen then you pay taxes to the government so the government can do what they do to keep the country running. They misuse tax dollars quite a bit, but the concept still stands.

But continuing to tax you when you live in an entirely different country? Come on.

Miika, I can't believe you're so dumb. You are always taxed by whatever government you're a citizen of, if you moved to the US you would pay taxes to the Belgian government for being a Belgian citizen and US taxes for living on US soil. It's like that everywhere, do they teach you nothing about anything in Belgium?
