More are renouncing U.S. citizenship as IRS cracks down

42. I don't want to keep them as citizens.

I want them to leave.

A U.S. citizen who stays out of the country for fifty weeks a year pays virtually no income tax--the "Halliburton dodge" that mercenaries and contractors in Iraq used to further bilk the United States during the Iraq War.

So the double taxation issue is a non-issue for the vast majority of Americans overseas... except for those with a shitload of money, those who want to exploit dual citizenship by using the US as their home nation for more than two weeks a year without paying taxes, and those who have stolen more than they think they can hide from the United States.

So fuck those people. Their motivation for leaving spawns from the same base instincts that brought this nation to the brink of disaster. We shall profit from their swift departure.
