I'm not from the US but growing up it always seemed like a golden land and I loved the idea of living there. The past 15 years, during which I've actually learned more about the place (and visited twice) have made made me shiver with relief that I wasn't born American. Great place to visit, possibly a nice place to work temporarily (up to a year or so) but no way I would want to live there long term. The main things that deter me from America: - healthcare costs - attitude towards women's reproductive freedom and abortion - religiosity - guns - corn syrup (I visited LA and it was literally in every single product I looked at in the shops)
