Your statement is more true than not, however it is not the overriding reason we are considering immigration to "the land down under". We have more valid but critical observations about America than just disillusionment with our current political system. And yes, I am a good citizen, in good standing with my country, a retired professional firefighter, a decorated veteran and I always vote, despite as of late, having no one I really have confidence in. My dissatisfaction has outweighed my satisfaction for a long time and starting over, at my age, has risks but is also very exciting. My younger wife has a degree with two majors, English and Psychology and much experience as an exceptional manager and I have a pension, retired but still relevant I believe. I am a citizen with worth, but I'm tired of being ignored and taken for granted by my country. Perhaps you find Oregon to be your choice location, as for me, I'm looking further West.
