New Taxes brought about by 0bamacare
Plenty of reasons: Increasing taxes, increasing regulation, decreasing property rights, and decreasing benefits to being a citizen. Worldwide taxation—a policy that is globally almost unique. Unequal treatment under the law—e.g., alien traffic violators are often just let go—citizens are fined.
Still fewer than three thousand, so far.
But three thousand with a relatively high income level, therefore taxes would be onerous and perceived as unfair by those upon whom it is accessed.
Years ago, there were many who fled the United States, but that was to avoid serving in the military to fight a war they thought unjust. Or they were just chicken.
And of course, there is flight all the time to avoid prosecution. Citizenship may or may not be a determining factor.
New taxes are a part of the problem. The Marxist dictatorship replacing the Constitution and destroying our republic is the over-arching problem facing American citizens. Fear and dread are replacing traditional American confidence and optimism.
My wife and I are looking at Costa Rico, possibly Belize or Spain. I know these are probably all socialist countries. But at least they are out in the open and are trying to lure wealthier US retirees. As much as I have loved this country, It just sickens us to see the societal deterioration and property confiscation brought on by liberals!
these are just the ones they know about.
Many simply went to a different country, and stopped reporting their income to the IRS. So long as decent revenue is being generated for the host country, no big deal is made out of it. In reality, the IRS has literally no way of finding these people without help from the host country.
And I image the more this administration pisses off the rest of the world, G8 and G20 summits (where these things are worked out) will become more hostile.
does the article mention Tina Turner?
That sucks.
Most of those people worked really hard raising those taxes. :(
“The Treasury Department published the names...”
Hmmmmmm...
Almost like they were crawling over themselves to do so to embarrass someone, or something...
But hey, they didn’t make the environment so toxic that it forces people to do things like this...
I’m retirement age.
I’ve been thinking seriously of cashing out my investments and moving to one of the freer South American countries, like Chile, which we helped to make free a long time ago.
The antique cruising sailboat I`m slowly getting into shape is my “fan plan”. I thought I did well a few years ago to get it with a running diesel one third of blue book, but today I could get the same vessel for less than half what I paid.
“More Taxpayers are GOING GALT”
Fixed it.
