Back to the Future Again: Two Stunning Trends For Americans Not Tethered To U.S. Nanny State

AS THE CIRCUS IN WASHINGTON CONTINUES....

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CREATIVE POWERS OF SMART, FORWARD THINKING INDIVIDUALS TO GO AROUND OUR BOGGED DOWN FEDERAL NANNIES---MAKING THESE TRENDS ONLY GROW AND GROW (WITH INVESTMENT OPPORTUNIES GALORE!)

TREND 1: MEDICAL TOURISM FROM THE US TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO CUT HEALTHCARE COSTS
Sure there are risks to having surgery abroad as they are in our country. In spite of that, this trend will only grow. Expect that after a successful procedure in a foreign country like, say, Costa Rica, many medical tourists may even want to move there. To wit:



TREND 2:  BUYING CITIZENSHIP IN COUNTRIES WANTING BUSINESS INVESTMENT AND SAVVY FOREIGN INVESTOR/CITIZENS

Prepare for a lot of high-end citizenship exodus---or dual citizenship for high-net-worth individuals wanting a friendlier tax environment and less stressful lifestyle---in exchange for investment in that country's economic and indigenous job growth.

Warning: only affluent/business-oriented individuals need apply because of the high price tag. It's the new, reverse legal path to immigration.

Take for instance UK mega-billionaire Richard Bransom who denies he's moved his citizenship and business operations to Necker Island in the Caribbean for tax reasons. No one really believes this for a minute.

Sure there's more sunny weather and less clothes in his closet. Still, he's smart enough to know his country is bankrupt and sold-out to the nanny state---as is USA---so he's getting ahead of the government predatory tax policies curve and taking a pass, while the gettin' is good.

Good for him.  He's only one of many.

Here's the latest country looking for love and investment in all the right places:

Antigua calling out to smart and wealthy, tax-conscious investors.  Expect this trend to grow exponentially as the world realigns itself to the new realities of predatory, stupid governments influenced by the Paul Krugmans of the world.
