Nothing to See Here: Stevie Wonder permanently moving
I laughed so hard it hurt when I read the bolded part.

Wait. Whut? You're telling me a homogeneous country has more of a sense of community than a country Balkanized by immigration and encouraged to pit sub groups against each other? Who would have ever thought....... |

Sense of community??? When is the last time Stevie Wonder actually went out socializing amongst the general public? This is the country that made Stevie Wonder who he is, and now suddenly his surroundings (and his $110 million portfolio) isn't enough to grant him the happiness he feels he so richly deserves? Perhaps life was more fulfilling when he was a blind 5 year old kid playing a harmonica in Detroit. What's he going to do in Ghana? Open a community center and offer free piano and Braille lessons? I'm betting not.
I actually saw Stevie Wonder in concert in Las Vegas a few years ago. He's a supremely talented performer, but the last time he had a hit song was over 30 years ago. And whenever he strayed from Songs In The Key of Life or Innervisions, the audience practically went to sleep. I really get a kick out of celebrities that do things like this. Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Billy Crystal, etc. People who haven't done shit in 20+ years who desperately try to get their name out and draw attention to themselves, so they rail against conservatives or perform some sort of grandstanding behavior by issuing press releases that they're leaving the USA. Best o' luck, Stevie. |

Maybe he knows Biden is going to raise income taxes and he's fleeing to preserve his wealth? |

You know what? Biden didn't even enter my mind...nor does he 99% of the time. I could honestly give 2 ****s about Biden. I just find this self-absorbed behavior mind-bendingly ignorant. Period.

I don't. Here's why. I would imagine that Stevie Wonder pays more income taxes than most folks. He's a maker, in a nation of takers. If we start running off the makers, like New York, Illinois and California are already doing on a state scale, that means the slack has to be picked up by the rest of us makers. for the 47% of Americans who don't pay FICA, I would imagine they don't care which makers are paying, because whoever it is, it ain't them. |

America afforded him the wealth that he has accumulated. Now he can enjoy some third world shit ass country, which is all he deserves.

Actually, Ghana is currently doing pretty well. The little detail that Stevie doesn't take into account is the stability and safety in that part of the world. Except for the inner cities, I doubt there is any safer place to live than America.
