On Tuesday, the New York Post ran a headline that said, Denise selling out USA. They claim that Denise Rich, millionaire ex-wife of oil tycoon Marc Rich (whom the Post describes as a fugitive tax cheat) stands to gain millions by ceasing to be American. Why isnt the Post mad at the government, whose policies have made renouncing your citizenship the It-thing to do? This administration seems to think milking the rich dry will solve all our problems, but as Nick Gillespie says, When you tax something, you get less of it. Tax the rich more, and you wind up with fewer rich people to tax.
After Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin renounced his American citizenship in 2011, Senator Chuck Schumer got away with saying, Saverin has turned his back on the country that welcomed him and kept him safe, educated him, and helped him become a billionaire. Schumer told the press that Saverin had defriended America and the press loved the sound bite. We discussed it on Fox News Red Eye and I found the whole thing so infuriating I had trouble speaking English. Saverins family brought millions of dollars into the country when they moved here from Brazil. He paid through the nose for his Harvard education and during that time he helped create a trillion-dollar corporation. Todays tax structure says hed be charged around $67 million NOT to renounce his citizenship. What would you do?

My brother works in social media and tells me the tech industry is petrified of Schumer. He claims Saverin has invested hundreds of millions in the US tech industry, creating thousands of jobs. Schumers bill bars Saverin from investing in US companies, and the people hes employed are worried theyll soon be unemployed. So to pay off a $15-trillion debt, Schumer tries to squeeze $67 million out of a guy whos already giving America hundreds of millions. The net result is hundreds of millions less than we started with and thousands of jobs possibly flushed down the toilet. As Bernard Mandeville wrote in 1714:
Luxury
Employd a Million of the Poor .
Millionaires may deny it as a motive for expatriation, but they undeniably benefit from the tax money they save when they renounce their American citizenship. Abex chairman Michael D. Dingham kissed America goodbye and moved to Nassau. Kenneth Dart of Dart plastics did the same before moving to Belize. So did money manager Mark Mobius before returning to Germany. Plastics mogul Frederick Krieble left America behind when he spread his wings and flew to the Caribbean. Their moves saved them tens of millions and lost us much more.
Obama is a fundraiser and community organizer. He is not a wealth creator. Yet his administration acts as if they have the expertise to tell real wealth creators how to handle their business.
