Kind of amazing!
All because of the Government’s insatiable appetite for money.
If the left gets the White House next year you’ll see a bunch of Americans running north!
Citizenship, in any country, is all about privileges, immunities and obligations. Forfeiture of citizenship in the U.S. is a two-step process. First there is renouncement and then relinquishment by the U.S. Only relinquishment with the issuance of a certificate of loss of nationality relieves a renunciant of their obligations to the state.
Anyone who renounces still must file their tax returns, register for selective service, etc ... Only a certificate of loss of nationality issued by the U.S. will relieve a renunciant of their obligations.
Gosh! You mean some folks aren’t willing to pay their ‘fair share’?
Shocking!
I won’t turn tail and run away.
They’ll be shocked one day, when they learn they are part of the TPP....
On the other hand, the Illegal Aliens swarming over the border from Mexico have it EASY! All they have to do is say one of two code words to stay: “Asylum” or “Obama”. No reporting requirements for THEM!
As the US evolves into a globalist totalitarian state, I think that there will soon be a big market for fake IDs, fake passports, documents, identities.
The big issue will be overcoming biometrics, digital tracking.

They're all border babies, huh...?
Nope.
I think I’m missing some parts of what’s going on here. American citizens who live in another country, even if they have no bank accounts in America, or tax liability to America, are still required to pay some fees based on filing of financial information? And banks in other countries are enforcing IRS regulations, and the IRS is able to take their money? Am I understanding this properly? I must be missing something.
The ultimate freedom is the freedom to leave.
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.
Canada Ping!
