I live in Canada, born and raised here on fruit farm in Ontario, here is a list of some of the reasons why my country sucks.

Con list:

• We pay for taxes and don`t have a say where those taxes go, When we could vote on where those taxes went, They just give it to private companies for free

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/powerandpolitics/tories-steamed-over-loblaws-freezer-cash-1.5091869

• We vote people to vote for us, we are a representation of a democracy we are not a democracy, When we could all have jobs by voting on issues
• We have other people make the money supply which is backed by nothing and the rest of us work for it, When we could all create it
• We treat immigrants better than people born here and who have worked here their entire life, we treat them better than the veterns here
• We have double standard laws because of religiousness beliefs, some people of certain religions get away with other stuff other people cannot

• The beer store is not even owned by the government but private family's and only they are allowed to sell it,The LCBO(Liquor store) is owned by the government and only they are allowed to sell it(same with weed)
• The politicians have bunkers for themselves but not for us the people
• Our taxes go to lining the politicians pockets
• They tax you even on Bitcoin
• The cops beat you for no reason most of the time
• The hospitals perform malpractices hold you down and inject you with needles for no reason, when you are posing no threat or harm

Pros:

• Weed is Legal

Putin is in charge  :-\

IMO you are just a whiny baby, if you live in Canada, you are living in better conditions than a ton of people, you have every opportunity to do whatever you want there, if you haven't accomplished anything, it's on you, anyone can do almost anything, whether you are a man/woman, poor/rich, etc.

I envy you lucky Canadian. In the EU it's much worse and if you were to live in Eastern Europe you'd probably cry yourself to death, judging by how you're crying about your current conditions. I'll give you a hint how to notice the differences. Take an average EU country and compare how much people are earning there and what are the prices in stores.
Take Germany for instance, which is a pretty good economy and a rich country. Wages are similar to what you have in Canada, but max income tax is 42%! There's also vat, but in Canada it can be as low as 5% in some provinces, in some it's up to 15%. In Germany it's 19%! Go to one of the poorer EU member countries and you'll see it's much worse there. You need to travel a bit to understand how easy your life is.

All those points you listed Timebits seem to be the same in the United States but I still think Canada is a much better place to live.

Marijuana is becoming much more accepted in America now and it won't be long until it is completely legal in every state.

My country (the U.S.) is out on the leading edge of those negatively impacted by the Talmud, the Zohar, the philosophical constructs that are built around these works, and the people who are attracted to these philosophies.  Most other countries have some degree of similar direct effect, but more-so they are effected by my country in it's capacity of the 'sole superpower' which has fallen morally.  'Given over to a reprobate mind' as it were.

With the most recent 'full frontal' incantation (Donald Trump) we have lucked out to a degree.  Currently very few people have even heard of these works of philosophy, but they are out there and not realistically revocable.  These people will not be able to resist the temptation to turn up the heat to fast and the frogs will start feeling the pain and looking for answers.  After stumbling upon these works (or having them force-fed down their throats) 'the truth' rings loud and compelling.

As unpleasant as the infancy of 'their fantasy' may be it will have a limited lifespan.  Some expect 42 months.  The strategy of the Mormons is to 'make it through' this period.  Probably a wise strategy to be honest.  Anyway, Chabad-Lubavitch (https://www.counterpunch.org/2014/04/07/why-is-the-us-honoring-a-racist-rabbi/) is such and evil and nasty entity that they will be the best enemies to have.  They are eminently beatable.  Some of their cousin organizations not so much.

What is it with conspiracy theorists and jews? It seems like they are always the problem, you guys are almost like hitler at this point, notbatman is also usually blaming the jews for whatever reason, you are now blaming some weird jewish philosophy for the problems in the US? Trump was probably the best thing to happen to your country.

I cannot speak for notbatman since I don't know him and only occasionally see his work.  For my part I would say that reading the writings of the Talmudic and Kabbalistic authors really opened my eyes to correlational between it and what I see in our society.

As I tried to make clear, 'Jews' and those attracted to, say, Kabbalistic practices, are not a one-to-one match.  Probably most Jews have a very limited understanding if they have even heard the word.  When they do, however, it seems that they often map it to some of the exposures they've had growing up if they take an interest in trying to understand it.

The predominant concepts of Kabbalah seem to be favorable to 'Jews.'  For instance, Jewish people have souls which are unique and special, and they 'create worlds' when they make utterances in Hebrew.  It is therefore not surprising that Jews are over-represented among those who find the philosophy favorable, but many non-Jews are also practitioners of the philosophy as well.  Most of them have no idea that they are, much less any idea of why.  For my part I'll believe that it is 100% correct that Jews 'create worlds' by utterances in Hebrew when they are engaged with fellow Jews in conspiracy to do exactly that.  At the State Department, within CNN, etc, etc.

Again, I feel that Trump has indeed turned out to be 'one of the best things' which happened to my country;  he is well on his way to exposing the nature of many of our problems.  He may or may not be the guy who finally sinks and collapses us in a 'controlled demolition' that is likely the pre-planned end-game for our nation, but he is already the guy who did a great deal of dis-robing and thus exposing the nature of some of our most significant malignancy.

The design goal seems to be to repopulate the 'promised land' with people who claim some genetic linage to a particular person, and because most of those presumed to pass this ethnic purity test live in the U.S., I expect that another 'burnt offering' type situation is being set up here in the U.S..  A mirror of what happened in Germany several generations ago (and which ended up getting the 'Jewish State of Israel' off the ground.)

For that reason it is important to take note that 'the Jews' will play a critical role in 'saving' us as a nation.  Only 4 people spoke up against the recent absurd and nefarious 'antisemitism' bill here in the U.S..  All four were Jewish so I heard.  I cannot verify this, but it would stand to reason.  These would be 'the remnant' who see the writing on the wall, see the 'conspiracy', see what it means for them as well as the rest of us, and see that it is bad news.

Hi,i am biswa ranjan Mukherjee from India.with barely nine months to go before the lok sabha election,how serious is the crisis in our banking system?put simply,it is not going to be resolved any time soon,although gol is scrambling to force more medicine into the patient on life support.rbi's latest financial stability report tries to sound optimistic.

You need to realize that people have been trying to find conspiracies for decades and even hundreds of years and yet we are still here and nothing has ever been proven or really discovered. It's always baseless statements that make no sense, it's your brain trying to make sense of the world, you are probably too scared to believe that we are simply some random event and that no one is controlling the world, it's chaotic, it has no purpose, no meaning, it's just is, I know it can be scary but it's the reality.

I hope you realize that claiming that 'for decades and even hundreds of years' there has never been a 'conspiracy' makes you seem like a fairly uninformed person.  And a fairly brainwashed person.

You could call it a 'conspiracy theory' that there is a 'Talmud' and 'Zohar' and it has some pretty atrocious writings in it.  Other people might take the approach of just reading straight out of it.  Or, as I often do, listen to what some of these Talmudics say openly, and especially when they are talking to one another.

I would not be at all surprised if Jesus really did call the Pharisees 'the Synagogue of Satan' just as outlined in the New Testament, and I could not put it better myself.  That well may be the source of homicidal vengeance for Christ and Christians that is writ large all throughout these documents.

For those who don't know, the Pharisees were keepers of the 'Oral Torah' which really was 'oral' back in Jesus's time.  A few hundred years later it was written down as the Talmud.  The Zohar (a book of so-called 'Jewish mysticism') was supposed to be written by a child molester who was on the run from the authorities and hiding out in a cave with is son.  Actually it looks more like it was invented about 1000 years later by some weirdo in Spain.

Russia:
cons:
1) taxes(with low social security btw, but taxes are still shit)
2) centralization, there is nothing federal in russia except "federation" in the states name
3) weird autocracy(there is no way to become a president lol)
4) police state
5) retarded drug laws, atm we have smthing like drug war in usa but like for 20 years
6) the excess of self-defense law(if you kill a robber who has came to your house/if u kill a robber who tried to rob u on the street you would go to jail for the same time as you would just kill a random person)
7) state-capitalism(free market is great but our goverment is neosoviets xd)
8 ) a lot of corruption
advantages:
1) btw our society is good we are pretty con society
2) our history and culture are good
3) acceptable gun contol(there are still too much gun control, but its real to move with your weapon)
---
btw all these problems might be solved using Panarchy(FOCJ, etc)

eastern europe > western btw
cuz in eastern there is still a chance to change the political system to live better, while in europe this is not real cuz in europe political system is ingrained with all your eu-establishment
i hope we will build panarchy in russia cuz in russia the most popular non-system party(party which is the reall opposition to putin lol, cuz all the parties in parlament and on elections are bought by putin) is libertarian party.

Its not the country that sucks actually, its the people who lives and rules in our country that makes it sucks. I live in the Philippines and the people here will pull you down when you're on the top. There are lots of drug addicts which lead to more killings on the street. Our president tryna kill them all but "human rights" try to protect those drug addicts who raped,kill, human trafficked and etc. Its always 50/50 in every situation, some people like what our president does and some disagrees which makes chaos to this country.

There are many reasons but the main ones are the following:
1. corruption
2. bureaucracy
3. socialist mentality
4. negative demography
5. big emigration of the youth.
6. everybody lost hope that might be better
7. a complicated procedure to start a business.

I wish I had the problems that you do in Canada in my country.
Actually, I wonder how you think that your country sucks will Canada is one of the best places to live around the world.

Dude, no one cares about that shit, wake up and realize some people are crazy, evil, greedy (most people are greedy) and that's why there is corruption, manipulation, etc. It's not a big conspiracy of governments trying to control us, most people simply want more power, more money and they would do bad things to get what they want.

Many people are starting to care more.

You can find basically the same picture of every American president since Carter singing 'education and sharing day' which honor's this cult's now dead leader:  Putin also.

https://w3.chabad.org/media/images/887/hWQl8876095.jpg

You think that people with no sway can get national days of recognition signed by presidents and congress if they have no sway over government?

You think they could get 'antisemitism' defined as being criticism of the Zionist state of Israel with no sway over government?

Note that every would-be president and many senators go over to Israel and dry-humps the Shekinah at the wailing wall while wearing a stupid little beanie on their head.  You think they want to be humiliated like that?

You think that the NSA would send Israel data dumps of every citizen of the U.S. without some influence?

You think that Jarred and Ivanka Kushner, who are Chabad-Lubavitch, don't have some influence?

You don't think that the $100M that Sheldon Adelson  (https://israelpalestinenews.org/watch-sheldon-adelson-regretted-he-served-in-the-u-s-army-rather-than-the-israeli-military/)gave Trump or the $1B that Rothschild bailed Trump out with has some influence?

You don't think that some of the influence isn't related to the military spending and lives lost in the Middle East?  Especially since it lines up almost perfectly with the various plans for implementation of a 'greater Israel project.'

It's pretty clear that Rothschilds played a pivotal role in setting up the 'Federal Reserve' which is a private bank who owns all of the USD.  Since ownership of the bank is secret we don't know who owns it now, but do you think that there is any reason to believe that Rothschilds liquidated their position at some point in the last 110 years?

Most of the carping on this thread goes back to money/taxes.  Ever try to get money from one non-US country to another non-US country without involving the USD?  I have been an observer to such an effort and I'll tell you that it is a bitch with all of the AML and KYC bullshit.  It really means something to have the USD be 'world reserve currency'.  You don't think that the owners of the USD monetary system have a hand in this unpleasantness?

Most countries are in debt, and they pledge the future earnings of their citizens in terms of tax extraction to the lender.  You don't think that the owners of the various central banks, the IMF, the World Bank, etc have a hand in the grief experienced by would-be tax payers?  Even those who don't get hit with taxes still have to deal with inflation and 'business cycles' which are highly manipulated by those who create the money in debt-based fiat monetary systems.  And almost every country is said to have a 'Rothschild bank.'  Exceptions would be Syria, Iran, and North Korea so I've heard.  If true, that is an interesting list.

Before I started researching this stuff I was in the same 'mystified' state as you are now.  When I started to read what these people wrote about their own philosophical framework it all started to fall into place, and rather nicely in fact.  When one realizes that different people have completely different 'wiring' when it comes to morality and ethics, this stuff becomes much easier to understand.  It's a big hurdle for a lot of people to understand this, and especially those who grew up in a 'Christian nation' or whatever.

Yeah yeah and then you found out the truth and came here to BITCOINtalk to tell us about it? Why is it like that with you guys, flat earthers, moon landing fakers, etc, they always think they discovered the biggest conspiracy ever but all they do is come to forums to talk about it, how has your life changed now that you know the truth? Are you even doing anything differently?

I knew something was terribly wrong with the USD debt-based fiat monetary system for a while now, and it was a driving force in my intereste in Bitcoin.  It's fair to say that that 'changed my life'.

It's also fair to say that I figured 'the Jews' had something to do with the USD even back 10 years ago.  One has to have their heads pretty far in the sand to not see certain fairly obvious artifacts of this reality.  Over the last 10 years I've been able to do a lot more research and refine my understandings of this issue quite a bit.

It's obvious that the United States of America is the 'big prize' and a LOT more resources and dedicated efforts have been put into parasitizing us relative to most other countries.  What I have finally done is to arrange for a '2nd option' in a country which is not of such high interests.  If (((they))) do to us what the (((Bolsheviks))) did the Russia it ain't going to be pretty.  Millions and millions dead.  It looks like that is the end-game, and it looks like it could be just about any time now.

Well in mine it's government incompetence, lack of nationalism, corruption and IMHO the worst of all, the climate! Hot and humid for most of the year just makes people even less productive.


Wait, is the tax rate in East Europe EU members the same as those in the West?

Also, 19% VAT is ridiculous. You even exceeded my 3rd World shithole's 12%. Do you have VAT-exempt goods?

Just for your guys reference, when I worked in Silicon Valley either 43% or 47% of my paycheck was taken out before I got it, and I was one of the few people who didn't have a 401k or whatever.  Gasoline costs quite a bit more there than almost anywhere else in the country, as do electricity, water, etc.  Since I had no interest in owning property in that shit-hole I rented the cheapest apartment I could find, and I always switch apartments within several weeks of switching jobs.

I think my friend who bought a place down there pays something like $40,000 per year in taxes for the privilege of living in his own house.  And he gets exercise dodging the human feces and drug needles which litter the streets.

Philippines:

Cons =
People pollutes the sea (then complains why there is no more enough foods that we could get in there)
Social Media Addiction(Bash here and there pulling anyone down [crab mentality])
Poverty
Corruption
Drug Addiction
Not Safe
Lack Of Education
Can't Defend its territory(China has been bullying us)
Internet Connection Slowest in Asia and the Most expensive one
Economic problems
extra judicial killings

Pros =
Still one of the best place for vacation

I rather live on a remote island or the amazon under no rule of law, then these double standard laws where groups do not have to follow but everyone else does. I do not have every opportunity to do what I want here if you read the top of the post, I cannot sell weed, I cannot sell booze, I can`t grow certain things on my land, My farm lands cannot be built on because they are zoned "green belt" The government tells me what I can and can not grow or what I can and cannot do with my land.  I have accomplished more than most people, I`ve fed millions if not billions in my 31 years and kept more people alive than all religious leaders and politicians combined. I have made over 50 homes for people to live in. I donated over 10k to charity last year gave 1/2 of all my income to sick kids in a 3rd world country (gamingforgood). I still rather live in butt fuck nowhere than here so I don`t need to get assaulted another 10times by my police force, that I pay. I rather not fund war machines and have to give up 30% of my WORK! to murders, enslavers, thugs and the mob.

Another pro is that if you cough up either $20k or $50k as a bond depending on your age, you can get an SRRV and come and go as you please.  It's an alien residency card so you can get a driver's license, bank accounts, buy a condo, etc.  One must have a clean record...thankfully because the country doesn't need any more problems.

I've spend considerable time there this year and will be spending a lot more.  I like the place and I like the people I've met there.  The people are survivors!  Very refreshing compared to the U.S. population with all of their whining about 1st world problems.  One needs to keep their eyes open and their wits about them and limit the number of stupid things one does, but that's part of the fun.  Keeps one on one's toes.

A huge con is that it is across the Pacific Ocean and the travel is brutal!

Oh, one more con.  The people can be suckers for religious freaks and charletans.https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-the-messianic-zionist-religion-that-wants-to-recruit-7-billion-members-1.6455144 (https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-the-messianic-zionist-religion-that-wants-to-recruit-7-billion-members-1.6455144)

People in the Philippines can really be so kind especially if you  are an american. There are a lot of Filipinos who will take good care of you but you also have to consider the other ones especially if you lived in the Rural areas as most of them will likely be overpricing their services knowing the fact that you will not even noticed it.

Being near on the pacific ocean isn't really a con at all but since you are living somewhere far like US then that is completely reasonable.

Unfortunately, Vat in the EU is completely independent of the location. There are exempt goods and goods with low vat rates. For instance, baby products are usually taxed very little. At the same time, alcohol and tobacco are taxed as high as possible, sometimes there are even additional taxes added to make them even more expensive. Same thing with gasoline.
https://ec.europa.eu/ireland/sites/ireland/files/vat_rates_2014.png


It's the same in the EU, at least when it comes to your paycheck being cut in half. You have to pay income tax, which usually is around 20% and then health insurance, pension, and some other small things that add up to 40%. The pension fund is one of the greatest scams by the government because it doesn't work. People who made it thought the population will be growing and there will be more people working and adding to the system every year. This could have worked in China, but most EU countries have declining populations, so the system is failing and generating losses that all taxpayers are covering.

imo he is just troll so chill xd

I know you are half a troll so Im not going to argue too much but why arent you already living on an island or somewhere else? Did someone stop you? Im sure its tough using the internet from the comfort of your home, uuh what a shitty country.

There are numerous reasons why my country sucks and it's seems to be staying the same for some time. One of the major reasons are the effects of bad government and leaders, low self reliance of the citizens, poor economy, general harsh weather conditions this can make staying in the country hectic, diseases and sickness p

Main problem with mine is a damaged culture. Nepotism, tribalism and karaoke culture combine to make sure this country never gets out of the gutter. I'm actually surprised we're still alive!


I don't even have any idea these nutjobs have landed here. Ridiculous that they're bigoted even in their religion, kinda makes the rather permissive Catholic Church look like an angel.

Yah the country made the internet and my home!  ::)

It is a shit ass country, why have I not left? I have tried they fucking detained me and beat the shit out of me at border.  I had a hut in the woods they took down when I tried to move there.
-ACanadianBornHere

My initial analysis is that, to a degree, Filipinos have been victims of a long-running psy-op to be especially hard on themselves for things which are, while unpleasant, quite normal for humans.  Somehow they seem to think that no other peoples exhibit these behaviors.  That is simply not true.

When Filipinos develop a stronger sense of nationalism and _real_ self-pride,  their society itself may quickly erode the sharp edges of some of the expression of the 'toxic' character flaws which many people seem to recognize.  I think this could happen.  Sure hope so.


They really do have a powerful global 'network' which acts as a crime syndicate with certain specialties.  If these creeps set up shop near you, I would suggest the 'see something, say something' approach.  With that kind of an ethnic supremacist philosophy wired in as a core principle there are few limits to the kinds of crimes they might involve themselves in.  Especially if they have easy access to a hopelessly naive and pliant 'flock.'

Some say that the Catholic church itself finally succomed in 1965 with the 'Nostra Aetate' and with the installation of a Jesuit pope for the first time, the victory has been more or less completed.  If so, a 'Catholic nation' such as The Philippines might be especially at risk for long running setup  to 'set the table' and an eventual implosion.

People always like to complain, you can really see it when you live in a really shitty country for 7 years like I did and then go to a much much better country to find out people there complain just as much or even more (because they can and laws allow it more freely). Bottom line is, people will ALWAYS complain.

OP, despite these cons that you mentioned, still I think that Canada is one of the best places to live.
I live in Lithuania and these are main cons of our country:
We been under Soviet occupation for 50 years and it stopped our country progress. Even after almost 30 years of independence we are still far away from Western Europe countries.
Huge emmigration. Almost 1 million people left our country in 29 years. Nobody want to work for €400.
Corruption
People always vote for populists.
Our society is very negative.
You can be sent for a long years to the jail if you will be caught with a joint of weed.
You can get driver license, take a loan, called to the army, marry, gamble and etc, but if you're younger than 20 years you can't buy and drink alcochol.

Pros:
We live in very calm place - no wars, no terror attacks, no problems with refugees, no extreme droughts, floodings and earthquakes.

Bro, you better take care that you will end up living in a 1000y Kingdom ruled by The Lord Jesus Christ.

you mean in usa and canada?

I don`t believe in Jesus or the Devil so I doubt it, HEY IF THERE IS A JESUS OR A SATAN KILL ME RIGHT NOW! (welp guess what I am right here) I have a Omniscient creator who is not a dumbass and would not create a son to die for the rest of us or a devil, use your brain brother. It would already know what they are going to do.

Anyways, this is a topic about why our country`s suck not the Creator of creators.

401K, isn't that like your social security pension stuff? Yeah, you'd probably only take 40% of your salary if that would also be deducted. I suppose it's cheaper outside the coast but there's less available jobs.

I see a lot of videos talking about the shitfest in some cities in California. Really shocking, like, I don't even see stuff like that in my low-income neighborhood. Even the people in the slums don't leave their shit on the street.

Reading this thread I feel like crying. The oppression by the political and financial elites is the same all over the world and most time I am tempted to thing if something is seriously affecting human relationships that we did not know. I think, there is a serious conspiracy against the poor and the weak one in our society!

It is really depressing and its not like you can just go somewhere and try to create your own country.  According to a study Finland, Denmark, and Norway has the happiest people.  They have very strong social programs to help the less fortunate.

UK here.

Cons:

• Short-termism. Government is only interested in quick fix rather than any long-term planning.
• The elite. Government (and BBC the main TV channel) is packed out with people who went to Eton private school, and live in a privileged bubble.
• Vampirism. (not the Dracula/bats/dinner suit stuff, that would be cool) Government either beholden to or in league with corporate sector, privatising everything and bleeding the country dry. National Health Service is under siege.
• Arrogance. Widespread delusion that Britain still rules the world and is better than everyone else, as manifested in the idiocy of Brexit from the EU.
• "Democracy" has been debased by exploiting the fact that people are idiots. Any rabid tabloid newspaper headline can get half the country baying for blood.
• Fox Hunting and bloodsports. WTF?

Pros:

• We are fortunate geographically, safe from earthquakes, tornados, temperature extremes, and invading armies
• Our dubious historical legacy means half the world speaks English, which can be convenient.

My country suck more than the word suck itself. Corruption is at it's peak from top to bottom. Everybody is using his or her office to gain through corruption. These politicians also come making fake promises and when they are voted into power, they just tend to forget the very people who voted them up there. No developmental projects in the regions and subdistricts and this is makes the nation sucks.

Aahahah ye right :D

There's nothing funny about to be honest :/
So glad I moved years ago, but my families are still live there.

My country sucks because most of government officials are corrupt. The development of my country is very slow because of this. Instead of utilizing all resources for the development of the community, it is reduced and being controlled by the corrupt official. This is significantly affecting citizens of our country. This corruption not just end at that. In this material world, money is a important and essential factor to make improvement and advancement needed by the society to progress and prosper. However, since corruption is rampant, again, the progress is really slow. Which really sucks.

It kinds of make things more interesting when a person says what country they are talking about.  If you will get a bullet to the back of the head for speaking your mind then it might not be worth responding to this thread at all because you'll probably get caught anyway.

'corrupt politicians' seems to be a common thread.  I wish people would dig a little deeper to understand the mechanics of how and why they end up with corrupt politicians.

My analysis is that this eventuality is pretty much assured under a debt-based fiat monetary regime, and especially one which is effectively controlled by entities who are not in any sense part of one's country.  We Americans suffer from this phenomonon with the (non-)US Dollar system as I see it.

Its quite simple, most politicians arent corrupt just like most cops arent evil, however people only remember the bad ones and they think all of them are the same. Power corrupts people, you, me, we have no power, we cant be corrupt even if we wanted to but maybe if we had that kind of power we would be corrupt too, it has nothing to do with conspiracies.

My country doesn't suck. Too many abortions for there to be much sucking going on.

8)

There is a certain incident in our country, China's fishing vessel "accidentally" crashing to our country's fishing vessel. Our President says that it is just an "accident", and did nothing about that. The government helped the people on that vessel but they had nothing to do about that China's fishing vessel crossing the border and crashing their fishing vessel that is said to be an "accident".

I will not reject your hypothesis out-of-hand.  You have a theory which could be tested, and I don't have the time/interest to do so.

My 'perception' is that in the U.S., the higher one goes up the political chain, the more likely they are to be corrupt scumbags.  There almost certainly IS something to explain that since the phenomenon is to strong to ignore.  Your (perfectly valid) point of view seems to be that it is the 'absolute power corrupts absolutely' phenomenon.

My point of view is that there is probably more to it.  I suspect that the real powers don't normally play on the political stage.  They tend to animate people who will, and usually use money to do so.  I also strongly suspect that said powers communicate and, to a degree, cooperate with one another without publicly advertising their communications.  If true, that is by definition a 'conspiracy'.

One need not look very hard to see evidence that groupings of people support politicians, and the politicians do what said groupings want if they received help from such groupings.  For instance it is often said that without AIPAC support it is damn difficult to obtain a political office at the federal level and even more difficult to keep it.  Everything I can see tells me that this is exactly the case, and it is the case that such politicians inevitably support AIPAC priorities.

I will give you the same remedy you are giving the guy who lives in Canada. For full transparency , I live in Eastern Europe.

If you feel like you live badly in the Eastern Europe, pack a bag, buy a ticket to India or Bangaldesh, get a visa and take a look how people live there. Make yourself understand that high taxes in Europe are nothing compared to living standards in poorest regions of the world where BILLIONS live.

sample text for any developing country

my country itself doesn't suck but the government and some of it's people DOES!

we recently had an election and one of the candidates who have been proven guilty of corruption with hard evidence and
even went to jail(just 4 yrs for stealing millions of php) for it won a seat in the congress. and people in my country wonder why the country is poor. smh...

The title needs correction.
It's not YOUR country which sucks, they ALL do.

The only solution is to stop acting like a citizen, to stop paying taxes, and to travel all the time, being a tourist wherever you are. Enjoy life!

Username checks out lol. I don't think all countries suck, I mean traveling all the time still means you are spending time in a country. In a first world country, today, you have tremendous opportunities to be whatever you want to. Even if you are from a poor family, you still have a lot of opportunity to do something with your life.

Still needs a nationality to get passport and to pass the immigration on airports.Or you will be called as refugee and treated as slave.
