How un-Patriotic that Depp is, doesn't he know the taxes are for the good of the people?
It’s weird how all of the Hollywood “celebrity” frauds want Socialism/Marxism/Communism but they don’t want to have to pay for it.
Don’t let his sorry ass back here.
i know, the french have become the butt of many jokes.
my favorite one was in the classifieds:
“french WWII lebel rifle for sale, never fired, only dropped once.”
Blessings, bobo
Did you say you’re starting to see French sailors starting to show up in your neighborhood with their “crash boats”?
Go ahead and diss France, but it's all about paying tax to Uncle Sam while living somewhere else!
welcome to the Liberal Democrat jungle you Hollyweird tool!
Better bundle for Obama pretty boy or you may have to pay like the rest of us!
WE ALL LEARN AS WE GO..
It was reported he ‘broke up’ or left his girlfriend and the mother of their two children.. No reason why. Money perhaps. Likely another movie star affair.
God bless them. They must live an unusual life. At least here in America it is unusual. In a fish bowl unusual. France was more laid back and accepting, or something.

Does he grasp what he said? Johnny Boy, that could be your epiphany moment.
Johnny Depp hates the poor. Doesn’t want to do his part.
Wait...I thought rich people were supposed to be willingly tripping over their own feet to pay as much tax as they can, even more. That’s what liberal hollywood tells us.
I’m so confused...
As for the hollywierd hypocrisy. . .it - and 'they' - reek. . .
I like Johnny Depp as an actor but the man is a buffoon.
He should have to spend time at the Chateau Depp.
The French, for instance, are increasingly infamous for class-warfare tax policy and onerous levels of intervention.
It goes beyond that...they murdered the last King & Queen of France after the French Revolution and of course went after the aristocracy. PBS last week aired a biography of the life of Marie-Antoinette using her letters and diaries to complete the picture.
I was just wondering yesterday about how France was doing with the new socialist in office.
You were once a prince of our cinema, now you're just a frog.
Abas le corsaire!

Outrageous. What will Hollywood say? An actor NOT wanting to give up his US citizenship? Funny how it all comes back around.
example:
Depp makes $10M in 2010. Assume France has a 42% tax on income. Depp is a U.S. Citizen residing in France for the full year. He pays $4.2M to the French equivalent of the IRS. He also files a return in the US and reports the $10M in income. Let's assume that it is taxed at 38% (forget about exemptions and deductions for this example). He would file a return showing $3.8M owed to the IRS, but would be given credit for the amount paid to the French taxing authority, up to the $3.8M owed in the US.
Since the United States has lower rates than many other countries, U.S. citizens resident overseas for a full year rarely pay in both places.
The recent stink over Denise Rich renouncing her U.S. citizenship (or the earlier brouhaha over the Brazilian-U.S. dual citizen co-founder of Facebook renouncing his U.S. citizenship) illustrates the case of someone who could live and be a citizen in a jurisdiction with an advantageous tax scheme relative to the U.S., who is facing a windfall or an inheritance which would be subject to U.S. taxation. These expatriates who renounce U.S. citizenship are subject to an "exit fee" set by federal law. But, if the windfall is large enough (e.g., Rich, Eduardo Saverin) the exit fee is no impediment.
