The world as we knew it is changing fast. And way too many folks do not have our values. If I recall correctly.....it took the world until 1850 to get to ONE billion people. We now have like 8 billion people. Can you imagine the next 100 years population growth?  Yowsir......we got allot of people everywhere. Where you gonna put 'em.....much less educate 'em, house 'em, provide heath care and so much more. I think we may have lived the best years this planet can offer. ^. The thing about this is that I am talking out of "both sides of my mouth" when I say this. On the one hand I dont want MORE people in the space I live.....and on the other hand I am not in any way. a believer in the abortions the lefties promote. Maybe we can't have it both ways? If that is the case....then I'm on the side of NO abortions (with the exception of early terms limits) and for population growth. I also beleiiwe we can muddle through many of these issues....such as global warming. And I believe that my God will find a way for life to carry our values and life forward. It may take another planet? Dunno. It just won't be easy.....and we all need to have our say and our values heard in the processes to come. If you sit on your heels now..... that is not gonna help one iota.......it's now time to shit or get off the pot. If you don't take a stand now....when will you take your stand? Wh'en it's beyond repair??? (riiiight). I (for one) am done with the "Mr Nice Guy" way of dealing with a bunch of the far left. Screw 'em! We NEED to make our voices heard - LOUD AND CLEAR -and vote for our futures....and that of our kids and grandkids. DONT BE A NO SHOW in the votes to come. Motivate yourself and others to do what you feel is the right thing......or your gonna lose what you cherish. That is where we are at....IMO. I keep reminding myself that the Lord is in charge and that the Bible says things will get worse and worse as we near the end. Speak up for change, but we aren’t really in charge. All of the dates are written on the wall. |

I have started my efforts to re-locate to OZ. Lots of folks here that have done the same thing.....and they are coming from California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin. They are all pulling most of their wealth from those liberal states and putting their residency down here in OZ. Those states will loose allot of income tax and estate tax from these folks......and me. They are shooting themselves in the foot......and (folks that can) are voting with their feet. Screw 'em. It will take me three to five years to make some changes....but the journey is underway and changes are being make. FORE! Once you have your list made share with the group what the steps are. At least a couple of us will follow in your footsteps. |

First thing I have done is had my accountant do a comparison of our annual taxes while living in MN with our taxes located in OZ. Also had a comparison (estimate) of estate taxes. While these things are not etched in stone.....the financial differences are quite large. Enough that I feel like a fool for not spending an extra few weeks in OZ. You need to spend at least six months and one day each year in your new location. (this does not include trips to Europe for example). The good folks in MN will chase high tax dollar (almost all of us) folks to make sure they are not gaming their state.
You gotta have a:
Bank in the other state
Car(s) titled in the other state (?)
Utility Bills in other state
A residence in the other state
Address change at Post Office
.......and I gotta find a list that goes with this.....and will report when I get that list.

I would think you’d need to register to vote in the new state and let your town in Minnesota know to take you off the voter rolls. |

I call bulllshit.
Or we could all just sit home and drink beer and never shower throw rocks at the cops because it would not matter.
Our decisions matter.
