Provide bodyguard services to the Fortune 509 crowd, and pull in 5 times his salary he got at the S. S..

Once on retired status he can collect his pension,.. rake in the doe,... and not answer for his corrupt practices at the Secret Service job.

Win,.. win,.. win.

USA,..USA,.. USA.

FASCIST AmeriKKKa is well entrenched.

If we just have too much personal freedom here for comfort (that damned "right to pursuit of happiness thing!" ), you could try to find a country where personal freedom is satisfactorily limited but fascism nonexistent.

Good luck on that one, though, since suppression of individual liberties and RW authoritarianism kinda tend to go together.

I'd suggest a socialist LW authoritarian state as an obvious place to find your mix, but they've all failed the dream. Not only is corruption rampant, but most wannabe-socialist governments long ago morphed to authoritarian dictatorships/central committees and/or -- guess it! -- yes, may have ended up embracing fascistic elements or downright fascism.
