    You don't have to live in the United States if you collect Social Security.

    There are only 3-4 countries you can not have your social security payment deposited into --- Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia-- and Vietnam may still be on the list.

    they changed the laws a few years ago...you can collect SS anywhere now except for like four countries which are on our "hostile" list or whatever they call it....furthermore, she is a US citizen and moved back over there after dad passed away in 2004....

    Well then, explain the 7 out of 20 35% that would take the money and the 65% that wouldn't?

    10 mill is not even a question....I think maybe 500 grand would be a fair question

    You throw the 10 mill on the table, there's no way 13 of 20 are turnin it down....Bunch of frauds

    You misunderstood.....


    You have to leave America in one week and never come back. You can bring anyone you want with you, would you go for Ten million dollars tax free? About 7 of 20 raised their hands and these idiot announcers were surprised that SO MANY did. I couldn't believe how few did.

    You can bring anyone you want. You can bring ten people, fifty, none. Whoever you decide as long as they agree to come of course

    Great answers guys, like I said the only reason I posted this was only 7/20 said they would go and the news anchor was surprised it was that high! Wtf did she think they would all say no we are staying and then stand up and recite the pledge of allegiance???

    I agree gamblers have a unique perspective. But many other people have a unique perspective in their worlds as well. Whether it's a factory worker / white collar working stiff/ cab driver/ house keeper/ I could list 1000 jobs that people realize they are just grinding day to day week to week month to month and year to year with very little chance if not zero chance to have a luxurious life. They are virtually all going and are fools if they don't

    Anyone who wouldn't is a moron.
    I could see saying no to a million but no one's turning down 10.
    I agree Benny except the some of the very wealthy, and the funny thing is many very wealthy would do it also

    if 65% of Americans were so patriotic they would turn this down (like in this focus group 13 of 20) our country would be in a lot better shape then it is now. We would still be the only major world power and it would never change. Those 13 said no because they were on TV and it's not a real offer.

    There's a difference between what people say and what people do. It's a hypothetical question so your not going to get real answers. If fox actually had 10 million for each of them it would be a different story. I would say at least 18 would jump on this deal and probably all 20 but there's always a couple assholes in a group.

    I originally said if I made a betting line it would be 18 or 18.5 just like you said. But when I think about it I would say 19 is right. To me 95% or 19/20 seems very reasonable.

    What do you think the number is that would be 50/50 for "normal Americans".....The normal 9-5 middle class, not anyone in the shitter or really rich

    I think it would be probably 100k where you would get about half saying yes, half saying no....Gotta figure a lot of people would wanna get the hell out and start new regardless

    The never coming back to America even to visit hurts

    Is this a serious question? Who in their right mind wouldn't say yes in a heartbeat unless they're already well set for life??

    define normal american? 100k is too low I think, because people are naturally optimistic and think things will Improve. 100k improvement in life is possible and believable to regulars americans, millions is for the most part not. So for 100k most the smart ones aren't leaving

    Just your average American making 5 figures lower-middle and middle class working the daily grind with no real shot at improving much for the foreseeable future

    What do you think the number would be where half would say yes, half say no?

    You throw down 100k on the table I think half take the money and peace

    A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck and less people are optimistic than you think

    People with a ton of education and good job prospects or people making 6 figures obviously would prob not take the 100k

    100K and no job? Fukk that.

    I need 7 figures before I leave my job in the states. Even then, I need a job lined up soon.

    1o million is a slam dunk, make it 2 million or 1 million if you want to make people think about it more.
