    If he left, would we have to create another one?

    That may be true, but I think Rush is more concerned of the extra tax burden he would have. I doubt he would uses their health care system other than routine things. He has the ability to fly back here at a whim and have any necessary surgery, etc. performed here.

    Why are the democrats doing all they can to relocate rich tax payers out of the USA, and therefore get less revenue?

    Do you think it would stop him from doing his radio show?

    You know... We can communicate all over the world. Costa Rica would be more than glad to have such a rich person live and work there.

    He has talked about NY taxes several times, and I'm sure that's why he's selling there.

    Rich people will always have access to the best doctors and healthcare in the world. Why don't you acknowledge that Rush represents 1% of the country? We don't live in his world... I hope this thing passes now...

    Wow, WC, I'm impressed! You know what Costa Rica would be happy about, and you know why Rush Limbaugh does what he does.

    Many of us are not that good at reading the minds of those we haven't met, much less the the values of a nation of folks!

    By the way, WC, I am not in favor of this particular health care bill. I DO believe that we need to reform health care in this country, but I am not in favor of the bill as it currently exists because it does not pay for itself.

    Having said that, I just can't get unhappy about the notion of a Limbaugh-less U.S.

    This is almost tempting enough for me to support this disastrous health-care bill.

    Rush wouldn't need a plane or a boat to get there, he could just float the whole way since he's filled with nothing but hot air

    Good question.
    The millionaire population is still far short of the 9.2 million counted by the Chicago wealth-research firm at the peak in 2007. But the trend shows that the recovery is well underway–at least for the wealthy.


    The nation’s millionaires–together with its Ultra High Net Worth households–are bouncing back from the recession,” said George H. Walper Jr., president of Spectrem Group.


    In addition to the millionaire groups, the broader affluent population, those with a net worth of $500,000 or more, climbed 12% in 2009 to 12.7 million.

    I do acknowledge that. However, I'm not jealous of him for that. Successes like his makes me proud to be an America. Few other countries offer such ability for people to do as he has.

    Sorry you are limited in the concept of the American Dream.

    Yes... I stated the obvious. It seemed to me necessary, as some people here don't get it.

    Why? What is your motivation? Him living here or there has no impact on your life or mine.

    Is your motivation of a dark hearted nature?

    The only reason Rush has any money is because he profits off of the dummies that like what he has to say. The man's life story, the fall and resurrection, is simply something out of a TV movie. He is a lucky dude, and if he's scared to lose money when he knows in his heart he shouldn't even be worth that much, then he's a greedy son of a gun and I want them to pass the health care bill NOW and condemn us all to death panels if it means Rush will desert his country and move to Costa Rica. Such pussiness.

    I'm not worried about rich tax payers leaving the country, they will find ways to not lose too much money whether its a loophole or some of that offshore account funny business you always hear about in the movies. 'em if they wanna leave, they can go to to Europe and sort through that mess.

    America is the greatest country on Earth, and if you don't root for the home team get the out of the arena.

    Just out of curiosity, since I'm ignorant on the topic, can you show me if the current tax trend is higher than what it was Pre-Bush tax policy. I'm just wondering if the levels are about the same as opposed to noticeably trending above previous Administration's. If Rush is ing over things going back to Pre-Bush tax policy, he needs to change his tampon.
