Renunciations of US Citizenship skyrocket

[Trajan]

Pretty stark angle in that graph...I will confess I am very surprised at this, I would have thought Hollywood ( and San Fran) alone would have accounted for at least a 1000 a year under Bush...I lost count of how many people said they would leave or slit their wrists, especially if he were re-elected ( they fucked my dead pool too)....

I see a modest leap then a Biiiig drop...until.....then, take off time...

how counter intuitive...eh?

 

[Mr Natural]

Hyper partisan assholes making some stupid point no doubt.

This is very scary. This used to be a country of immigrates that disavowed their loyalties to the old country and became patriotic Americans in their new country. Now it seems people see America as secondary; a place to use and not build up!

I find it unconciousable to renounce one's American citizenship!

As do I. Not only would I never give up my citizenship, I won't even take either of the two others that I am legally entitled to... even though it would make traveling in Europe easier. Nope. I am an American - 100%.

100% agreed. Dual citizenship is a mockery in itself!

Sounds to me that people are getting while the getting is good.

I read an article somewhere that quite a few Americans living abroad have renounced their American citizenship so they don't have to pay taxes on their earnings, I am sure that has something to do with it.

Hmm why do you say that? I have a friend whos mother is German and he has dual citizenship, whats wrong with that?

 

[High_Gravity]

We may need to look into making citizenship a bit harder to get here, should just being born here be enough?

What's keeping you here?

From my perspective, one cannot serve two masters. One country. Mine is the United States of America.

They should be smart enough to use off shore banking then. I do. Neither the Brits nor the Americans can take it. It's all mine! Until I bring it onshore to whichever country... then they are welcome to their 'share'.

Yeah, good plan.


And they'll be singing a different song when they find themselves on the receiving end of some rebel uprising in some South American nig-nog or Middle East shithole.

What has changed since 2008 to make renouncing your country a reasonable option?

Actually in the article most of the guys who gave up their citizenship were living and working in places like Austra, Belgium, Australia etc. the guy working in the Middle East are only there temporarily and they know that, I have 3 friends working in Kuwait and all of them are stacking their cash planning on coming back, hell one of them bought a house in Vegas this past summer.
