Millionaire Renounces US Citizenship To Dodge Taxes, Whines When He Can’t Come Back

9. This is a point that is lost on conservatives..........

Whether it is paying taxes, complying with anti-discrimination laws, etc. conservatives believe these are "self-made" men and women who should be able to do whatever they want and keep all their profits.

What they fail to recognize is that any business in this country enjoys the benefits of being in the U.S. They benefit from our laws that protect business owners from liability from corporations to limited liability companies, etc. They benefit from the infrastructure businesses (to the extent they pay local and federal taxes) and individual taxpayers provide. They benefit from an educated (over time we will have to qualify this one) workforce. They benefit from an open, competitive marketplace. They benefit from access to our courts to enforce contracts, labor disputes, etc. The list goes on and on.

So when they don't want to pay their fair share and leave the country, I believe they should not be allowed in without satisfying all the requirements for a visa. They should have to undergo an interview, etc. with the rest of them "at the back of the line". They should not be able to participate in any visa waiver program because they have shown contempt for the U.S. by renouncing their citizenship.

I hope this guy never gets back into the country. If you don't want to pay you don't get to play.
