The ultimate freedom is the freedom to leave.

Just like when Jews and others were getting out of Nazi Germany in the 1930s!

What law is there on the books that prevents the Feds from enslaving its own citizens. What do you think the Social Security Number is all about? They branded you with their number and now they own you.

So, they’re running from the threat of socialism to a country which is already socialist.

Got it.

Canada is hardly a panacea. Their pro-homo laws make ours look like a joke. No free speech as we know it. Gun ownership far more difficult. Everything is more pc there, engrained deeper.

Exactly. Further along than we are, by many measures.

Tina Turner isn’t the only person who left. I am glad the NSA thing is changing, never saw the sense in monitoring just anyone without cause.

Land of the free? Home of the brave.

You are expected to meet your obligations to the state until you are released by the state. In the United States, you remain a citizen until a certificate of loss of nationality is issued.

There are only a few instances that I am aware of that the United States has implemented a relinquishment on behalf of the foreign state. The Founding Fathers renounced and relinquished their citizenship with England because it was unconscionable for a citizen to be subjected to taxation without representation. The United States did not recognize the obligations imposed upon its citizens by England after the Declaration of Independence.

If I ever decide to renounce my United States citizenship I sure as hell ain’t gonna pay $2300 for the privilege. I have already been bled dry for for 35 years now and they’re not going to make me pay for the privilege of getting them off my back. If I ever renounce my citizenship they won’t see hide nor hair of me. If they are trying to hunt me down then they won’t find me until I’m sick and old and I need medical care then I’ll come back and they can pay for my medical care woman club fed.

All I want is Mexicans anyway so that’s what the hell I’m going to do, I’ll become an illegal alien.
