If it were me, I would consider moving my money to Latin America. Not Mexico of course, due to the recent election, but definitely would research the regions and political climates of our southern neighbors.

Sounds like you should probably start researching now if a 20% capital gains rate makes you think "Latin America" outweighs an additional 5% in taxes.

  If Bernie Sanders was elected, I wouldn't just move my money. I'd take my chances with the cartels. Free health care, free tuition, $15 minimum wage, guaranteed sick days and paid time off. Universal basic income, unicorns, etc. And the 3-5 trillion dollars it costs each year can just be paid by either the wealthy or by placing crippling debt upon future generations. Either way, free stuff is good.

    Same here. I would rather die than share with dirty poor people.

    You leaving is a risk I’m willing to accept to help millions of Americans access health care.

        I work every single day to try to build a world where we get socialism voluntarily. I’m an author and I write about how we can build a world where helping people is so easy we choose to support it without government intervention. I’m a libertarian socialist, which is a term I encourage you to look up. My specific angle is robotics, and I not only work a full time day job making robots in Silicon Valley, but I also bust my ass at home to make better open source robotics platforms to enable this world I claim we can create. Are you so sure I won’t pay or work to create the world I advocate for?

You plan to invest in a market you know little about. You should definitely do your research. The five largest markets in Latin America are: Brazil Mexico Argentina Venezuela Ecuador 2 have a problem paying their bills on time. If you don't like Mexico I have some unfortunate news for you regarding Ecuador. So that leaves Venezuela...
