This guy would fudge up a two car funeral.

Then he would blame it on someone else. Probably the stiff.

“Going Galt: Surviving Economic Armageddon”
I’m deeply involved in Going Galt, both as a personal lifestyle and writing on the subject. It’s the only way out given the collapsing welfare state, demographics and changing global technology.

We need to reform both our individual tax laws and corporate taxes to make individual american’s more competitive in the overseas job market and corporations more competitive. Even the socialist countries of Europe have better tax laws for their citizens and corporations working outside their borders.
Our tax policy means that american’s are at a tax disadvantage versus others in seeking jobs overseas. And that means more unemployed american’s and it means more foreign employees working for US companies overseas. Most other countries give the companies an option to retrieve their overseas profits with low taxes..to the advantage of their country..rather than forcing companies to keep profits overseas.

If I can find ways to starve the beast without sacrificing my standard of living I am OK. But i won’t have these leftists or anyone control my lifestyle.

“Representatives from dozens of nations have bitterly complained about an awful piece of legislation, called the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), that was enacted back in 2010.”

They couldn’t go one further and call it the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of Tomorrow (FATCAT)?

Given the horrible amount of debt and the out-of-control deficit spending, please clarify your call for tax reform...

Does your concept of tax reform mean:

a. more tax revenues for the government?
b. about the same tax revenues?
c. less tax revenues?

FATCA is the kind of legislation - buried intentionally by the malefactors in a larger bill - that senior Republicans never even bother to read. Then they wonder why, despite Obama’s disasters, nobody takes them seriously.

Past Federal Court rulings have said that the government does not have to grant your request to renounce your US Citizenship.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that, increasingly, they won't.

Some of us are going Galt without having to leave the country. It can be done.

Many are starting to renounce their citizenship - and many more wish they could.

Obama is the President of lower class blacks and white liberal elites - everyone else is screwed.

I like your acronym (FATCAT) but replace the word ‘tomorrow’ with ‘tyranny’.

Which effectively says you are the property of the US government.

What kind of legal claptrap is required to come up with that?

Americans renouncing U.S. citizenship surged sixfold in the second quarter from a year earlier … The U.S. is the only nation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that taxes citizens wherever they reside.

Yes. Resistance takes many forms.

I wonder when these same countries will extend their policy to bonds and other securities sold by the FUSA.

It’s now clear that countries wanting to organize and trade in other currencies are the result of stupid laws like this, rather than a desire to undermine the U.S. or increase the stature of their currencies.

Same here. It is no great hardship to live on an income below that at which one must file a tax return. For some, it is. I reserve my contempt for those selfish shirkers who won't do anything whatsoever, for the sake of America.

No one said it better than Sam Adams: "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

It can’t be named in a blatantly truthful manner though. The name has to appear to mean something nice and pleasurable, not what it actually is...

You know, like the affordable care act (aka obamacare).
