#3Banning wealthy entrepreneurial investors from your country would surely be counter-productive to stimulating growth?

#4That's interesting. Someone who was born in country A and is a citizen of country B and decided to live in country C, no longer wants to be a citizen of B (which would be understandable for a lot of reasons, taxes being only one of many) still has to pay taxes as if he/she were actually using country B's tax-funded services.

#5On top of that, they want to make it official that people who do avoid paying their taxes by renouncing citizenship are unable from ever re-entering the country again.
That is so braindead, it's not even wrong. You'd be hard-put to come up with a worse policy if you were actively trying.
Well, Schumer (D-NY) and Casey (D-PA) are mad as hell and they’re not going to take it anymore. They will call Saverin’s $67 million tax “duck” an “outrage” today in their press conference when they detail the rest of the Ex-Patriot act.
The "outrage" is these dipshit politicians and their big-spending government and their obsessive desire to steal every cent they can from the rest of us.

#9That's interesting.

Even worse: someone who was born in country B and lived his whole life outside of country B, still needs to file taxes and pay social security every year as if he was living in country B.
That's my particular case.
