I'm probably going to alienate a lot of you by asking if a conservative would reply to me. My America is lost, and I understand Panama is more economically free than most places, so I am considering moving. Though I will be retired with SS, I want to start a small business, which will create howls from you American Liberals. I want to start an Eco friendly business, or a small store for the ordinary guy, NOT an artsy-craftsy high end for wealthy tourists. If I make it to Panama, I want to be a Panamainian. open up a store with affordable stuff, or a canteen where the local family can afford to eat or drink. I have business experience, but I need to hear from people who live in real-ville, that the red tape Panama boasts about NOT having is true, that there is no global warming treaties threating business, that there is no Agenda 21 or other UN anti sovernity. I hope I find someone who will tell me if this is a bad police state ( I already heard about pay day check points, if that is true), but just ordinary life. I hope to hear .
