Attn Mods: Title shortened to fit.

The Democrat-supporting Super-Rich are FLEEING the oppressive taxes of the U.S. (James Cameron did it, too) It seems they want to KEEP their own money, and don't want to give it to the Democrat Voters.

Hmmm... I wonder why I had to go the UK Daily Mail for this tidbit of news, instead of CBS/ABC/MSNBC/CNN/NBC/NPR/Pacifica/WashPost, or the NYTimes?

I can't IMAGINE why. Can you?

Well, there goes another character witness for Eric Holder, LOL

(for those tuning in late, the pardon for Marc Rich by the outgoing Clinton criminal syndicate was arranged by Eric Holder (then deputy AG to Janet 'Shakes the Clown' Reno).

Holder: "effin ungrateful B*TCH!!!!!!!" lol

I don't get it even if she gets taxed more she is mega wealthy and would still live a fantastic life here. I think there is another reason for her giving up her citizenship. Maybe when your that rich you can live a charmed life anywhere (most places) and maybe she doesn't feel any loyalty to the US. I am not for taxing the wealthy more
but I just think her reason for leaving is different than just higher taxes.

Funny thing is, the Daily Mail cited this Reuters story . . . but Reuters would probably not advertise the story as openly, preferring to bury it in their virtual "back pages".

There are some interesting numbers below....at some point its gonna start looking like a “bank run” ...which is essentially what it is...

The Feds are desperately worried some of the 50% of the population they uses as cash cows to help them fund their delusions are catching on...and leaving....

“Last year, almost 1,800 people followed Superman’s lead, renouncing their U.S. citizenship or handing in their Green Cards. That’s a record number since the Internal Revenue Service began publishing a list of those who renounced in 1998. It’s also almost eight times more than the number of citizens who renounced in 2008, and more than the total for 2007, 2008 and 2009 combined.”

Even more alarming....in 1997 the list was ONLY 90 people renouncing...so that year, 2011, it was TWENTY times greater that in 1997...

Wellity wellity...

Rich Dems fleeing the country to protect their wealth....

Imagine the hypocrisy.

[Iron Munro]

Democrats love to show how compassionate and charitable they are with money extorted from others by the government.

Their own money? They keep it for themselves.

You can bet they'll still be hectoring us about how we need to share our wealth more, though.

I'd forgotten how ugly Jackson had made himself.

Having craped all over the bed, the libs now want out leaving us to clean up the mess (as usual). :(

[PapaBear3625]

Socialists are all for sharing OTHER people’s wealth.

Now if we could just rid this country of the “Kardashian” “Clan” we would be MUCH better off!

I’m sure this won’t stop her from voting several times next election.
