Personally, I'm scared of a draft, I'm scared of more terrorists attacking us, I'm scared of my money being put into a forced savings plan, I'm scared of a huge stock market crash/crash of the dollar, I'm scared of what's going to happen to our air and water. So those are the kinds of huge issues that I think make people think they'd be safer somewhere else. Also I think some people want to leave because they don't feel like this country represents them anymore, and that voices like theirs do not have an equal say (due to the electoral college system).

Agreed.

But the US has an impact on the rest of the world too. If we aren't here to try to change things, who will?
