Costa Rica has a geographic tax law. You pay income tax on money you earn in Costa Rica. I earn most of my money from the United States.
There is no army at all in Costa Rica making a coup impossible.
Healthcare and education?

My friend, I will explain something to you I learned a long time ago.
There are those that have an open mind and there are those that think they have an open mind (this is not direct at CDSMITH).
I was born in Boston, Massachuetts. It is known as "The Hud Of The Universe", unfortunately to only those that live there.
Since the day I could understand English, I was told... This is it. This is the best place in the world, do not bother to look elsewhere.
Now think of that... telling a child who relies on his surroundings for the TRUTH. Everyone telling you, "Massachusetts is it" "We have the best schools, the best people, the best EVERYTHING".
This is true for most parts of the USA. People are indoctrinated into believing that where they live was a gift from god, and they should not question it.
I left, but unfortunately my brother and sisters who were programmed with this madness are still dealing with the high taxes, crime, exploding home prices, etc etc
I commend you on your desire to tell people of a better life, but unfortunately few have the mind to listen or even understand what you are saying.
It amazes me, North America was ever discovered. It is that small percentage of society that realizes there must be some place better.
I said goodbye to the high crime, the high taxes, the countless problems in Massachusetts 10 years ago, and never went back. You will find the same thing with people you know who still live where you came from, they all still believe what was told them from a young age "This is Utopia".
