How did that policy turn out last time?

House Speaker John Boehner has become the latest politician to attack Facebook billionaire Eduardo Saverin for ditching his U.S. citizenship to avoid paying tax.
Speaking on ABC's This Week, Mr Boehner labelled the move 'absolutely outrageous' and said he would support legislation to stop wealthy expats relocating to dodge tax.
Mr Saverin, who pocketed more than $2billion when the social-networking site listed on the stock exchange on Friday, could avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxes after he relocated to Singapore.

Bonehead is keeping in character, he should be sent home permanently.
I’m not a Boehner hater, but this one pisses me off. Smacks of building a Berlin wall. You make it so people can’t get out, no one will want to get in. Lower the damn tax rates if you want people to come here and stay here.
You mean Boehner actually believes the guy has no right to change his citizenship?
The most fundamental freedom in a free republic, is the freedom to leave.
Wrong. Not even close, unless you want to be like the scum-sucking libs in Congress and the media.
It's his RIGHT to be a jerk. It's his RIGHT to be a hypocrite. Neither are against the law. It's also his right to be an idiot, if in fact he supported "high tax/spend policies".
It's also his money, not the Fed's. It's also his citizenship status, not yours, not Congress'. Leave him be.
P.S. Please don't take this as a personal attack; it isn't. It's just a touchy subject with me. The media and Congress are sticking their long noses WAY too much into individuals' business, I don't care how much they're worth or how liberal they are.
According to our overlords in Washington DC, they just let us keep “their” money.
Would the Constitution be against a bill that say anyone with $40 billion or above have 90% tax on their wealth. Which only includes the two biggest Liberals, Bill Gates and Warren Bufffet. Just curious
Let the fellow spend some up close and personal time with the TSA..... good riddance...
” You mean Boehner actually believes the guy has no right to change his citizenship? “
Not quite - Boehner (and Gummint types in general) don’t give a rat’s patoot about his citizenship — they’re just exercised that he’s taking “their” money away from them....
How else? . . . With the barrel of a gun.
FUJB!!!!!
I see what you did there.
never mind george soros who ran his hedge fund out of the bahamas...
And there ya go... 2 sides of the same damn coin.
It’s time for a second party.
Hear! Hear! A just society provides equal protection for all - rich and poor, men and women, black and white, heroes and jerks, conservatives and liberals.
Well I was gonna say something but what you said pretty much sums it up. Nothing left to say.

Wow, so we no longer will allow freedom of movement by American Citizens? This reminds me of a friend who back in Tito’s Yugoslavia was on some dossier somewhere, and could never get a visa to go outside the Country.
After the fall of Communism, everyone could go look at their “file”. IIRC, he was suspected of being a dissident as he was Catholic.
