Here we are again, the wealthy say enough is enough, people who who say yeah fight the gov. are fools, the gov of the usa / uk have set it up in a way where you cant do nothing. So a smart person sees the past, the current and future and makes a move, he dont care what who thinks, the rest will be left to deal with the craziness.

The people in the travel business know first about people moving, as they first do several dry runs all over the place, anyone who deals with international travel especially on a corporate level will be able to confirm what im saying.

I have family in the states, I only hope for the best, but we know what hope alone gets ya. Even moses needed to lift his stick to get the sea to part, hope alone dont work, you need to make an effort, a physical effort.

History repeats itself

in the 1300's when the black death / black plague hit, many of the rich saved themselves by running away, the poor here angry and looked down on them, the bottom line is they survived.

In the 1930's many smart people saw whats happening in germany and they left, that includes albert einstein in 1933, again many hated on that and even newspapers where making fun of those people, I wonder who made out better.

Yes in the 60's many decided they didnt want no part in the war and they left, those people have no regrets, the ones who did go have much regret, especially given the nasty treatment vets gets worldwide even thou they are the reason we can even walk in the streets.

I dont blame the poor for being upset on the rich on doing this, its even more scarier that for every rich guy that leaves someone else will have to pick up his tax tab.

Just like no one saw or few saw the real estate bubble coming, the mass exit by the rich from the usa is something that many don’t see now, companies are doing it and private people are too. At least the private people that matter financially to a country.

Countries that are smart, will make it easier for good Americans to relocate there, its a opportunity to really grow a country on expats. To many countries make it hard to relocate there, they are losing out on a serious opportunity.

The UK thing is interesting as none of the americans mentioned that as an option or ever moved there.

Last week I met this client who is in his 40's he lived in NYC and sold his apt. for 4 million dollars. I saw the listing and was amazed how such a small place goes for 4 million. But the point is he showed me photos of his new place he got in the Dominican Republic and it was huge and new and private. Hes someone who was vacationing there for 7 years a few times a year and speaks Spanish. Hes happy, looks better and that’s all that matters.

But yeah when regular workers are the clients here, they rave about gov. benefits they get and all that and love the USA, the rich I can say almost all of them want out, I never thought the day would come when I would hear that.

Many are leaving the UK too so its not just a us thing.

What gov. are forgetting is that many of the countries who where not up to date years ago are now very up to date and with so many people vacationing all over they start getting ideas, and they are more open minded to leaving.

I am not American but id like to comment on this, a few months ago the WSJ wrote something on this issue. As someone who works with many travelers, mostly US based I get to hear very interesting things.

I have been doing this for 12 years, and only in the past 2 years did I notice this huge talk from the wealthy about relocating outside the US.

When I ask the non rich they laugh and say never would they move, but almost all the rich Americans talk about it and many have.

I don’t understand to tax law at all, and im only in contact with this many Americans because of my job (I speak 4 languages and assist in tons of travel all over the world).

For many they yell its taxes other say just too many laws that involve tieing them up in court forever. I heard it all but never seen so many act upon what they say and actually move.
