Sure, but in the mean time you'd be supporting evil. Some people seem to find
that unacceptable. The best short term option would be to stay, breaking the
law, and look for ways to change the system or better places to go.

That's the toughy. Actually, my first impression is that the civilized parts
of Europe are in many ways better. At the very least, I would feel like since
I decided to go there, they have a certain moral claim on expecting me to
follow laws and contribute socially. I have also heard from many many sources,
that in Europe you can really see what you get for your tax money. That would
be somewhat more appealing. Also, there are several places in Africa that
would be interesting to expatriate to, why not move there? Sure you'd live in
a dictatorship, but at least it would be a frontier style social setting.
