Wait until we have a debt crisis and the US government starts capital controls and other measures, the numbers will really skyrocket
>The 2014 number was up 14% from 2,999 individuals in 2013, which was also a record.<
.
What should also be told is that these 2,999 individuals represent a group of affluent Americans. None of them are paupers.
If they renounce their US citizenship they will have to apply for a different one or they will be stateless.
Will they receive SS benefits?
To my knowledge, the US is the ONLY nation that taxes their citizens that live abroad (i.e., double taxation).
Avg. net worth of those who left ?
In a Jan. 23 interview with the website Vox.com published Monday, Obama said he wants to use tax policy to boost the economic prospects . . . . “[A capital gains tax hike is] smart policy, and there’s no evidence that would hurt the incentives of folks at Google or Microsoft or Uber not to invent what they invent or not to provide services they provide,” the president said. “It just means that instead of $20 billion, maybe they’ve got 18, right?"
Maybe he should ask the people who are leaving in record numbers.
That number is bad enough, but it doesn’t count the ones who don’t bother telling the governmen about it and going through the fascist exit interviews.
More room for me.
Now if all the damned non-citizen assholes would pack up and go, this would be a great place to live.
Oh, and take that idiot obama with you.
