    Sure, there [b]IS[/b] an easy way around this new law. Do your banking in tne U.S. and pay the taxes that you owe.

    The intent of the law is simple. It is intended to stop those who are illegally avoiding paying taxes due the government. If you are within the old law you have no worries. If your actions are to avoid paying legitimate taxes you have a problem.[/quote]

    [quote=”Johnhw2″][quote=”grb1063″]Basic public school education in CR is probably better than what most US school districts provide and certainly a more respectful environment.[/quote]

    I agree that the typical Tico I have met seems better educated than the average American I run into. I wonder if its the school system or the desire of the students making the difference. I truly do not know but the typical tico seems more focused on things that matter in my view. Perhaps due to education, perhaps upbringing or perhaps out of necessity and believe they can better themselves this way.

    I am so tired of the bailout mentality in the US and government spending beyound its means while CR seems to be more sensible as a government. Look at how the dollar, which is strong now versus the Euro is doing against the colon as evidence of the markets agreeing.

    As illogical as some of the processes seem in CR, CR’s future and cost of living make more sense to me than the US at this stage.

    How did we get to politics from finding a job? I think that is the fundamental issue in the US today. Jobs and perhaps low population growth.[/quote]

    It feels great to do good deeds

    [quote=”Scott”]I agree with David’s quote: “Perhaps we’re not the saviors of this country that we think we are. ”

    I have repeatedly said that we expats (from the US, Canada & Europe) are a lot LESS important to Costa Rica than we believe we are …
