Interestingly, there is LESS inequality in Thailand than the US - the GINI index is 41.4 in Thailand and 45 in the US.  For reference,  France is 32.7 and Brazil is 60.7.

HAH! It fell to something 51 billion dollars in a month?  Wow, such progress - the annual deficit should therefore be in the 600 billion range.   Basically you're arguing that we should become poorer in order to sell more abroad.  OK, whatever floats your boat, but at least admit that Americans are becoming poorer - thats the whole point of the administration's economic strategy.

Well, I certainly would if I thought I could get Swiss, Dutch, Belgian, Danish, Norweigan, or French citizenship.   And of course there are many others..

In practice my Nationality is more about where my inheritance resides than where I do. Smiley
