This is too good to be true, we may soon be able to renounce are citizenship, but retain the right to vote, as described, and we can still work, bank, own property, be issued drivers license, yet we won't have to pay taxes, be accountable for crimes or have to pay back our loans!

It does not work that way, if you renouce your citzenship, you lose your right to vote and you have to continue paying US income tax for the next ten years. While on the other hand a illegal immigrant can come into the country and has the right to medical treatment, to vote and does not have to pay any Federal taxes.

This is one of the major reasons I don't think the Federal Government of this country has much future left.

However We have no idea if an "immigrant" was once a citizen, for those who wish to take advantage of the anarchy that is going on now! Our government is doing such a bad job at background checks, it would be real easy for somebody to lie and claim illegal immigrant asylum to void paying taxes, or having to serve their sentences for crimes.

Its is getting the point that those who cheated have more rights than the citizen who plays by the rules, so I would agree the Federal Government of this country has not much future left, if they continue down this path , since that is the major function of a federal government is to protect the rights of citizens from being trampled on by the citizens of foreign countries .

You wouldn't be pining for one of those USSR style break-ups, would you?
