Fair enough, yet I don’t see a way for controllers loosening the grip on the US, at least until it’s still the hegemony of the world. Also, US people often forget Europe is not a country and what you see happening in the CIA occupied West is not necessarily the same in the East. Think about the Balkans as a de facto separate and semi-independent Europe. It’s not a backwater place anymore. Suggest you visit, look around, interact with the locals, ask them about what they think about government, taxes, compliance and you might fall in love with the place.

Yeah I've been impressed particularly with EU countries like Poland for their resilience. Unfortunately I'm American and could never see myself living in another country. I quite like Italy and can speak a good bit of Italian but had a uncomfortable feeling of being a foreigner that I couldn't shake when I visited for a week. Thank you for the the suggestion though, I will admire my European brothers from afar.
