If the US is so bad compared to Egypt, South Korea and China - maybe you should move back.When my wife and I returned to the United States last Spring, we bought a house in Arlington, Texas. We paid cash for our house because we operate on a debt free basis. We are so thankful to God that He has blessed us with that ability... but we worked internationally for 10 years to be able to do that. My wife, who is a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, is now applying for legal immigration (waiting now for 8 months for the US government to issue her a green card). My wife was so happy to have a house that we owned 100%. Then I told her about the property taxes we had to pay. Her response, after being shocked by such a thing, was that we really didn't own anything in this country. If we are forced to pay this tax and the government can seize our property if we don't pay it, we really don't own anything. Our apartment in Yerevan, Armenia is 100% owned and we NEVER pay any property taxes. The years we lived in Egypt, South Korea, and China... we never paid any property taxes. But here we are, shelling out several thousand dollars in taxes. Oh yes, also paying $400 per month in HOA fees. Maybe we should go back to Armenia.
