5 good reasons for living in the USA

my top 5 reasons as follows :-

i. Freedom
2. Land of oppurtunity
3. Advanced country
4. Rich country
5. Purchasing power of dollar (living costs are reasonable)

But i have never been to usa.

1.Freedom - may be short lived thanks to NDAA & The Patriot Act
2.Land of Opportunity - still true
3. Advanced Country - still true
4. Rich Country - moving  quickly towards a Fascist, 3rd world status
5. Purchasing power - may be a short lived luxury thanks to QE3

i. Freedom - I don't feel any more free and I resent being treated like a criminal when seeking employment i.e. drug tests for new hires.
2. Land of oppurtunity - Ok.
3. Advanced country - A little too advanced in someways, don't like having to talk to machines every time I want to call my bank, cable company etc. I hate banking in the USA. Too much wasting time dealing with poorly trained and overly peppy associates.
4. Rich country - For some, inequality is highest in developed world.
5. Purchasing power of dollar (living costs are reasonable)  - Ya, except for anything health care related.

AHAH it depends where you live in the United States!!
I'm currently living in a little city

I lived in Illinois... I survived there with the goal to move to Texas...

1. Texans are very friendly; a real pleasure

2. the Tropical aspect of East Texas (lot of trees, plants, flowers), hilly, (could you imagine Texas so??)

3. Americans are discreet and respectful.. not at all nosy(and so polite they rarely say what they think...); you can let a lot of stuff outside (no fence), they won't steal them ; you can walk - even late in the evening, no problem

4. do you have abalities? are you a slogger? do you have brainstorms? with a strong professional business plan (and some money), you'll be very welcome

5. they are proud to be American! and take care of their Freedom

and so more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rich country??? it depends for whom!!! get a ride on the little roads in many states....
maybe a lot of high salaries...  but a lot of loans too....
