"What I'm talking about is shifting money that is in a US bank or US brokerage firm in the USA, to another country where the USA would not have control over after a person pays taxes and then decides to gain citizenship elsewhere." Ah. Well, Europe in general is pretty stable. Canada is too close to the US and most Asian countries are too close to China. Once you are a citizen of one of the European countries, it is pretty easy to move around the various EU countries if you don't like your first choice. For me, it was easy. My sons already had bank accounts set up for them by their grandparents in Germany.

Amy, I agree with your post, almost in it's entirety. re: The boomers demographically are't saving enough money, they tend to have the attitude that the next generation will not only help them out but will also magically make up for their poor spending habits, along with the govt deficit, etc. You have a tendency to blame "groups", in this case the BB generation. Yes, many have not saved enough money for retirement, as many in previous generations didn't save enough for retirement. Yes, many supported the tax cuts, which created the huge deficit, but many didn't. Many supported the war that created the huge deficits, but many didn't. Be careful with painting with too broad a brush. Blame the people that are responsible, not "a generation". Otherwise you are putting yourself in the same boat with a lot of bad folks in history; folks that blamed blacks, or Jews or whatever group for their own problems. Look to the real source... it's not a generation, it's an ideology.
