Actor Johnny Depp has moved out of France and returned to America because he didnt want to become a permanent French resident and pay income tax there.
Depp has now moved his family out of France after government officials asked him to become a permanent resident, as he feared he would end up paying tax in both countries. He tells Britains The Guardian newspaper,
France wanted a piece of me. They wanted me to become a permanent resident. Permanent residency status which changes everything. They just want
Dough. Money
Depp goes on to explain that if he spends more than 183 days a year in France he will have to pay income tax in both Europe and America, adding, So you essentially work for free.

Hey Depp ya leftard, ever hear the phrase “eventually they run out of other people's money”? Well, you're “other people,” and if obastard is reelected, he'll bleed you and your family dry, too. But you're probably too stupid to grasp what that means. Fool.

Geez if he pays the French 75% and the US 50%, he’ll owe money. Working for free would be better.

Yes, and then there is Gwyneth Paltrow who fled this awful country to live in wonderful England, but returned to the US to give birth. Guess socialized medicine isn’t so grand after all.

You should familiarize yourself with such foreign concepts as courtesy and good manners before posturing on the internet as a genius superior to all others there.

The fools are the self appointed posting police. The four hour rule makes no sense, and since 2006 many things have changed in the software used to warrant a whole new discussion.
I remember when all that needed to keep a thread alive was "bumping" it.
That is no longer possible.

So you essentially work for free. Which means you are a slave. Communism and socialism are all about going back a millennium or two. Back to a time when government was the slave master and the general public were the slaves.
To: TigerClaws
Well Johnny you lib pusbag, these are the kinds of people you vote for and help get elected, they are just asking for a little more than you’re used to. Just evolve and surrender your money they know how to use it better than you do.

It's OK for Johnny to minimize his taxes, but Romney is a felon if he does it.
Just ask Johnny. He'll tell you.
Johnny is dumb, like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive.

We did, we did. I guess Johnny's learning what it feels like to live in a country where everything is free, except for the people. :-)
