Seems like it’s a well known fact that being poor or even middle class (if that will even exist anymore) in the US disposes one to a very low quality of life (e.g., living in areas with higher crime rates, bad healthcare, the most obvious being cost of living, …etc)

On the flip side, what are some reasons why the top 1-5% percentile would also want to leave the US? (e.g., taxes/financial benefits, no longer aligning with the culture? I would assume mainly the former)

If you are in the top 1-5%, is living in the US still the best place to live? (as many people would like to suggest)

    Disillusioned with US politics, lack of a social safety nets, disgruntled my taxes don’t pay much towards social services, lack of public transport in most cities, harmful pesticides on food, for-profit healthcare, school shootings, wild west gun laws, and a proudly uninformed electorate. My mental, emotional, and physical health are worth much more than a few more USD’s in my pocket. >!I pay less in tax to boot!!<

    I am happiest living in the UK :)
