not really...its loathsome because they made their money here in the US- much of their opportunity would not have been available on the way up to whichever country they are leaving for after renouncing their citizenship....
i had a girlfriend whose parents who came here from italy for better opportunities...she came when she was 3- neither she nor her parents became American citizens, and all the while they took advantage of the system here all they talked about was “Italy!! Italy!!!” i told her it was disgusting and the relationship did not last ling...
my wife’s parents also came from Italy but they are proud American citizens and both went through the process, took the test and did it the right way- they raised their kids as Americans and, oh yeh, talk about italy once in a while...
Sorry, I just disagree. What if they made their money in the USA and their tax rates became 80%, and/or the government
I love the USA, but I am not a slave. We in the USA were once British, but when the Crown became too oppressive, we left the Crown’s sovereignty — albeit as a group. I cannot deny an individual the same right to escape oppression, should it continue to advance in years ahead. You are welcome to remain under the yoke, secure in “patriotism.”
