Other countries may not be "better," but I have travelled extensively in Europe and do not see the reactionary, flag-waving, uneducated "we're-the-best" bullshit from people there that I see here.

Well-off? That's a bit of a generalization. I work for a charitable non-profit org and took a 50% pay cut to do so. "Well-off" isn't in my vocabulary anymore. Would I actually move to Canada or anywhere else? Probably not. I haven't given up on this country--I'm just very saddened by the choice the people here have just made.
