Which is more important, that American children get an education, that our people get healthcare, that the roads and bridges get fixed, that advanced materials research be done, that the our military be supplied with the best equipment, that old people are taken care of, that the our debt be paid down, that food and water be safe, that our environment be clean, or that a billionaire buys a new yacht?
What has the Omamessiah done to accomplish any of this?

Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 8 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 22 months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq

Don't forget he cured climate change, made government workers competent, eliminated acne, made pubic water taste like lemonade...
So do you mock Christians for their blind faith, Chris? That would be funny. And BTW, you're living on a different planet then we are because the reality here sucks right now.

My point, for the slow kids, is that it is bullshit to suggest that people have to 'renounce' their citizenship. It is quite straightforward to 'relieve' yourself of the burden of paying tax in your 'home' country.
They don't even need to 'leave' the country... they just swap their primary residence to a country with more suitable tax arrangements. That is exactly WHY the Government does not go after the wealthy too hard.... because it will cost them more than it gets them.
All this smoke and mirrors is just deflections.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You will pay tax on your income no matter where you live in the world as long as you're a US citizen.
The only way to 'relieve' yourself of paying tax in the US is by paying tax in the UK and deducting that amount from the amount you would owe in the US by taking the Foreign Tax Credit.
Even then, if the tax rate in the UK is lower than the tax rate in the US, you will still have to pay the difference to the US. If the rate in the UK is higher than the rate in the US, there is a limit to the Tax Credit you can claim each year but you can carry over that excess amount and take the remainder of the credit the following year for up to 5 years.
Regardless of what you choose to do, you're paying tax to one country or another.
You still haven't demonstrated why it would be advantageous for very wealthy people to reside in another country in order to escape their tax obligations. Residency does jack-shit to alleviate tax obligations to the US.
Actually, I do know exactly what I'm talking about. Which is why I didn't mention a 'mas exodus' or 'renouncing citizenship' or any other mindless bullshit.
I know how the system works. I'm directly affected by it.
Is that 30% on earned income?

3- Buffet Likes to pay his fair share
When I Call Warren Buffett a Bolshevik Billionaire...
Posted by David Kramer on January 23, 2012 07:22 PM
...I know of what I speak:
"He [Romney] makes his money the same way I make my money," Buffett said. "He makes money by moving around big bucks, not by straining his back or going to work and cleaning toilets or whatever it may be. He makes it shoving around money." [Where does the money come from to pay those "real" workers to do those jobs, Warren, you MORON?]
Yeah, Warren, you're such a "greedy, capitalist pig." In reality, what Romney's Bain Capital does is very important in the marketplace. On the other hand, Buffetthaving made his billions in the second biggest scam (the Fed being the first) ever perpetrated on the sheepleis the richest fraudulent huckster in the history of the NYSE.
And, for the umpteenth* time, Warren, if you're feeling such "guilt" over not paying enough in robbery taxes ("funny" how he protected all of his wealth in his tax-exempt foundation throughout his wealth-accumulating career rather than paying taxes to his beloved government like the rest of us sheeple), you can always mail the U.S. Treasury a very generous check."

Brace yourselves. All you 1% here are gonna hate this.
It would require people who make more than $1 million to pay a 30 percent effective tax rate. Tax loopholes now allow some of the wealthiest Americans to pay lower tax rates than people in the middle class.
Don't worry. The pubs will filibuster it because, as we all know, they are owned by the 1%.

Really. Because I recall you saying this at the beginning of this thread:
"They'll move to Europe. The UK will welcome them with open arms. And, vast numbers will leave..."
Until you back that up with proof or an explanation why, I'll continue to think you have no idea what you're talking about.

How do we get to your planet? It sounds way better then this one. We're bogged down by socialists, Chris, who think government's the solution to everything. It's destroying us. I can't remember when Earth had the conditions you do on your world. I'm just hoping it take a rocket to get there and not little pills in funny colors.

I've already explained it. 'Leave' is a subjective term - meaning they will change their primary residence. I'm sick of repeating myself for the dimwitted.
