Moving to Australia or New Zealand

I think America is about to implode.  Why are so many people recommending Australia or New Zealand as a destination for escape?

I think Australia definitely has its faults, and probably wouldn't be for all Americans, but overall, I think it is a really great place to be.

As for America 'imploding'-- about ten years ago, my mother worked for Safeway and the union voted to go on strike, so she had to go on strike.  I went with her once to the store when they were on strike and this female customer and her husband were really angry at the workers on the picket line and they said they didn't believe in what the striking people were doing.  The angry customers said they didn't have any health insurance coverage, so they didn't believe that the Safeway employees should have any either. I think that sort of shows a small part of what's wrong in America at the moment.
