Americans abroad renouncing US citizenship hits record

More Americans renounced their US citizenship in the first quarter of 2015 than any previous quarter in history, according to the IRS.

A record 1,335 Americans living overseas renounced their citizenship in the first three months of 2015, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

I’ve never seen you so openly anti-USA as now. I also notice you never make mention of God in this context. America is a continent; the USA is a nation.

There are not “both parties”; there is only a Uniparty.

The USA’s economy will not grow with all the sinful institutions remaining in place—which means there will never be a “matter of when” unless and until they are abolished. And you are not calling for their abolition; you are okay with the evil staying in place, which means you are not against outsourcing ultimately.

Look. We currently have a strong military, and we currently have a strong nation.

However that is changing.

China now exports more than we do. And that is rapidly increasing.

China does not allow American companies to own things there, they only allow them to use them 49%. China also does not allow Americans to immigrate there, unless they are of Chinese heritage.

This was not a huge issue in the past, because America was the leader in the world.

That has now changed from the standpoint of exports, and is rapidly becoming a real problem in other aspects of our country.

We currently have a debt of over 18 trillion dollars.

Rapidly growing, every single day.

We have 93.7 million Americans who do not work, we are always finding ever-more ways to lay off Americans by sending ever-more jobs to China and elsewhere, and yet to this day, NOBODY IS SAYING WE NEED TO STOP THIS.

All I am saying is someone will eventually.

I am strongly suggesting the GOP get with this now, and not leave this huge and powerful issue, for democrats.

That would be a national catastrophe.

At the moment America’s businesses, and America’s national interests, are diverging.

One of the parties will eventually get with America on this subject.

I very much worry, it will be democrats. If it is, then we’re so screwed.

Still saying “one of the parties” when there aren’t two?

Obama’s weakening the military, and the nation is not strong due to the ravages of liberalism.

A number of countries export more than we do, not just China. For a while, Germany was the world’s top exporter. They do have real manufacturing, and a far lower corporate tax rate than ours—and less regulation in key areas, which may sound counterintuitive when it comes to Red China, but they require businesses to give intellectual property to the government in exchange.

As far as the 30 percent unemployment, lots of politicians claim they will “stop this”, including Obama—but invariably present false solutions that instead exacerbate the problem.

If one keeps ignoring the root causes of the problem, it will never, ever be solved.

Well, this begs for a future James O’Keefe video where he fake-renounces his citizenship only to immediately turn right around and become an undocumented immigrant, seeking to obtain assistance for which he would otherwise be ineligible.

In (quasi) seriousness, how come we’re not lucky enough to have Alec Baldwin among the renouncers?
