Yep. Leftards just don't understand that they cannot repeal the laws of economics.

There is a reason that Russians, Cubans, Jews, Chinese and other refugees from libtard hell holes turn out to be some of the best capitalists in the world.

I guess there is a reason that the communist bloc used to trade commodities for commodities, they didn’t even accept each others currencies.

The semifinal step for all collectivists, taxing people for fleeing your utopia. The French wall can’t be far behind.

If you live abroad and you are a US citizen, you have to pay taxes to the US

Not entirely true. I lived in Germany for 12 years and only paid taxes over $90k from working for a US company abroad...given you stay out of the country for 330 days...GET ME OUTTA HERE!

You’re talking about the overseas cost of living exemption. I suppose I could have mentioned it, but the point is that other countries don’t tax foreign earnings at all. The US is much more aggressive about that.

This is pretty funny actually due to the unintended consequences. In another 15-20 years, countries with a birth deficit like France are going to be begging for young, fertile, well-educated people. You can try tax wealth but good luck in taxing skills once the people possessing them leave.

Another dodge I heard of was buying a yacht, sailing away in it and selling it abroad. A certain amount of risk involved, but effective.
