Unfortunately, if the socialist wing of the democrats can bully through their agenda, the choice might be to relocate to a country that doesn't loath capitalism.
"There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers." -Richard Feynman
