In regards to taxes austin: the US gov't taxes it's citizens on earnings outside the US (most developed countries do not). There are however exemptions (which have recently been reduced) up to around 85,000 in federal income taxes -- meaning you don't have to pay federal income taxes on your first $85k made outside the US (but you actually have to live oustide the US for something like 300+ days a year)
You do still owe ss and medicare taxes plus state taxes if applicable.
In terms of local taxes, it all depends on the country, but most don't tax you for income outside the country. So, if you are talking about gamlbing winnings, your tax liabilty shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise, it just depends.
I assume by get you mean on tv. There are countries in latin america that do get directv, but the packages are different. I'm not positive but i think NFL sunday ticket is exclusive to the US. I do know that yahoo offers an online NFL package that's only available outside the US.
I use a slingbox hooked up at home to watch games -- with a good internet connection in both places it works fine. Plus ESPN gameplan and full court online for college football and basketball.
Personally, I was looking to move south before the new laws, and would have regardless. Obviously, assuming I can get back into pinnacle, that will just be another benefit to me for living here.
I could probably answer better if I knew, what are your reasons for asking?
