> Right now the US seems like it's on a slippery slope to fascism and/or totalitarianism rule. If that is the only thing you see, when you look at the US, feel free to leave. There is a long line of people who would be happy to take your place.

Growing up as a kid I always wanted to go to America. I've visited America and while I love it, I don't really care if I never step foot in the country again. Its going down hill fast, its becoming more and more corrupt every second of every day. This excerpt from the BBC Documentry; The Power of Nightmares, holds true IMO. "To most people watching this dance, it would have been an innocent picture of youthful happiness. But Qutb saw something else: the dancers in front of him were tragic lost souls. They believed that they were free. But in reality, they were trapped by their own selfish and greedy desires. American society was not going forwards; it was taking people backwards. They were becoming isolated beings, driven by primitive animal forces. Such creatures, Qutb believed, could corrode the very bonds that held society together. And he became determined that night to prevent this culture of selfish individualism taking over his own country." Also Johann Wolfgang was right when he said: "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

  You guys can down vote me all you want. Doesn't change the fact that US visa applications are at all time highs. As far as the tech industry goes, when it comes to the people you meet, the experiences, the talent, the cutting edge of technology there is no better place to be, then anyone of the many tech hubs in the US. At the end of the day leading a satisfying and fulfilling life, has as much to do with a person's mindset, as it has to do with the opportunities available or the person's environment. But ofcourse, for some people looking past their own shortcomings and finding excuses or faults with a country, a religion, the NSA, Obama, their parents, their boss and god knows what else comes very easy. And if these people want to leave the US and make room for the millions who want get in I am all for that.

  I wouldn't say that, but I'll admit I'm pessimistic!
