Well, yes. It is a big sacrifice. Which is why I wish there were more options within the U.S. I wish you could just move to a state where the government was run approximately according to your ideology. As it is, the differences in the state are so small that the only things you're likely to notice is the sales tax and the car registration. So if you want anything to be really different you probably have to go overseas --- and that's a big step and one most people probably couldn't arrange.
