Leaving America: Joe Bageant on why he moved to Mexico

http://financialsurvivalradio.com/

In one of his final interviews, author Joe Bageant ("Deer Hunting with Jesus," "Rainbow Pie,") tells http://www.FinancialSurvivalRadio.com why he chose to spend as much of his remaining years as possible outside the United States, and how that decision affected his own marriage.

We recorded this interview with Joe in October 2010, less than six months before he died of cancer. Joe and his work will be greatly missed.

@maxistsocialist its extremely dangerous now, because the the Mexican government no longer wants to associate with the cartels like they have been doing for years, but it wasn't like this ten years ago it used to be peaceful yeah there was crime just like any other city in the states but that was the norm now it's a massive genocide. My family lives in Sinaloa Mexico the heart of hell and as dangerous as it may be I'd still go to visit my grandma and cousins.

[maxistsocialist]

wow, but Mexico is a narco-state, and very dangerous place to live

Higher moral plane than America? That's pretty easy. Just about any country will qualify.

@desirefirst All governments and most politicians are evil on some level, the difference is that we act on our desires and kill brown babies by the millions whereas other governments don't. Why they don't is another discussion but the bottom line is that they don't. There are may people who feel as this thinking man does that he doesn't wish to contribute to the killing of human beings and is tired of having blood on his hands by association.

I will go to mexico and demand my welfare, free medicine and free housing !!!!

[MrRealist27]

I've been to Mexico, and I can imagine that if the shit hit the fan here in the U.S. I would still rather live here than that shithole.

[SilverRose09]

Mexico, no, it is a horrible country, corruption and corruption and corruption. All dirty , broken, they steal all, they don't take care of the parks. No, I lived there for 26 years and I regret it. I lost my youth there. I have to said, they were good people there and peaceful, I love them dearly.
