I'd have more economic and/or social freedoms in other countries.
you really think there are countries that beat the US in BOTH social and economic freedoms?
That just a silly statement, take into account the insane amount of social programs in many of the higher GDP per capita European nations. Thats social freedom? regardless of your stance on the social programs they by definition draw funding straight from your pocket reducing your economic freedom.
On top of that many of the same countries have much higher living expenses than the US.
The argument for quality of life is very existent but freedom i would have to heavily question. We lost to plenty of countries in social and economic freedoms, but i would love to see (and maybe move to) a country that skates the line between both like us.
