If I could stay here, I would. I love Australia. It's the government, particularly in NSW, that I don't like. It's really a shame that such a great country is run so terribly. For all we pay in taxes here, we're not getting much back. I'm not going to try to defend US foreign policy, as I certainly don't agree with it. But at least in the US you can see what your tax money goes to, and you've got a better shot at making a comfortable lifestyle for your family. I'll get off my soapbox, as I don't want to be misconstrued as insulting the people of Australia, my adopted home. I just think that the way the government here treats its own is worse than how the US treats it's enemies in some cases.
