Sounds a lot like the Berlin Wall to me.
My thoughts exactly, a kind of administrative Berlin Wall much like the corrupt Fatca tax legislation. An irony that on the one hand Hatch, Rubio, Graham, McCain and the rest try to flood us with cheap labor (with even Ted Cruz joining in on the foolish attempts to raise the H1b though at least he’s stood firm against amnesty). Yet on the other hand they also want to make it harder for US citizens to leave if the government goes after us and our assets. Truly a totalitarian dictatorship in the making, this restriction on even basic freedoms like travel is precisely what they do. The Senate GOPe is truly dangerous to the most basic pillars of American liberty, and Mark Levin is right to go for the jugular in attacking McConnell and his minions like Hatch, Kirk, McCain, Ayotte and Flake (not to mention turncoat RINO governors like Nikki Haley in SC). The Senate RINOs are not utterly spineless, they’re active backers of Big Government statism and opponents of the conservative movement. This is what corrupt Big Money from treasonous oligarchs like the Chamber of Commerce and Sheldon Adelson does.
They already take your passport if you fall behind in your child or spousal support.
Had a friend who had an IRS error. Originally thought to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for it was an real estate error. took over a year to clear up wit a couple of letters by the accountant. Owed zero in the end. But with this legislation, this law abiding taxpayer would have been a political prisoner in his own country.
Americans sit on their butts and allow the income tax system to persist. They deserve all the fascism that comes because of it.
