Missing in this, both for being broke and the diabetes, is car monoculture. I've known several immigrants who thought they were going to get around (in Texas no less!) without a car or be a one car household. A few months later they were all angry at how much they were spending on cars. And fatter, angrier from traffic.

Virtually every immigrant I know who's still in love with this country is much older and came over here when it was still seen as a beacon of light for those in less stable countries.

They also hate all other immigrants and believe they're superior to them in every way, even if they themselves were undocumented at one point.

The taxation part of this is a bit of an unfair point. The US allows for an exclusion of ~$150k in foreign earned income if the US citizen qualifies as a bonafide resident of a foreign nation. On top of that, the IRS lets you deduct any taxes paid to a foreign government dollar for dollar against owed US taxes, and since most other developed nations have a higher tax rate, this essentially wipes out your US tax obligations (federal only, some states will still apply taxes separately). The only people actually double paying taxes are the ultra rich, but they obviously don't pay taxes at all since that's for the poors 🫩

Obviously, the system is still stupid and overly complicated (why should I even file a return with the IRS when I don't owe anything?), but it's not as egregious as this video makes it out to be

Health insurance only works when you’re healthy

Welcome to America, where you are free to fuck off and die - here's your bill.

I mean, just don't pay taxes to the US. You're not going to get extradited. The IRS is just as defunded as everything else outside of the war economy. Also, if you're in Europe, there's no reason to travel anywhere they may be able to get hands on you. Keep your money inside of the Schengen Area and you're fine.

Atleast that's how it's been working for me in Portugal. Renounced in 2016

Why are we reposting shorts from an Afd idiot

Plot twist: he got shot dead at day 2

I heard they get indebted for life for like small medical issues, and their society is all stratified, uneducated, straight up dumb, their infrastructure is crumbling, their rivers are on fire, everybody shoots everyone at all times, they've been usurped by a fat pedophile, and they terrorize the rest of the planet with their stank.

But I really want to take my kids to Disneyland so I bought the century pass, which guarantees that my grandchildren will be able to visit the ruins after the nuclear apocalypse with a max 2 hour queue limit!!!

A German getting an American passport. Wow.

Well, at least the American taxman accepted Euros.

Well yeah, it could cost you your life in a myriad of ways.

Now both left and right are trying to discourage immigration.

M4A would cost as much as Medicare and Medicaid does right now
