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.

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....
Politicians like Boner don't "believe" anything. They only pretend to "believe" whatever it is they conclude will play well in the Washington fishtank they've been swimming in for far too long.
What bothers me is the abject stupidity. The GOP as a whole could take this issue, run with it and make great hay. i.e: "SEE WHAT OUR CONFISCATORY TAX POLICY DOES." Huge political milage.
Instead, he plays the part of the "reasonable" douchebag that needs to be liked.
