Kind of amazing!
All because of the Government’s insatiable appetite for money.
If the left gets the White House next year you’ll see a bunch of Americans running north!
Citizenship, in any country, is all about privileges, immunities and obligations. Forfeiture of citizenship in the U.S. is a two-step process. First there is renouncement and then relinquishment by the U.S. Only relinquishment with the issuance of a certificate of loss of nationality relieves a renunciant of their obligations to the state.
Anyone who renounces still must file their tax returns, register for selective service, etc ... Only a certificate of loss of nationality issued by the U.S. will relieve a renunciant of their obligations.
The most harrassing thing to me is the suspicion there are so many laws and et cetera's already in place that NO ONE can simplify THEIR OWN THOUGHTS and THOUGHT PROCESSES
I believe that is by design and has been in the works since the beginning of the USA, but most active since around 1913
America must be destroyed and part of that destruction is the elimination of the American identity
Forcing the relinquishment of a passport severs forever that tie to a once righteousw nation.
I disregard, for the sake of my claim, the fact that people perhaps are not American in the first place ... but the passport is that tie
Too many people are ex-patriating, as well .... but I SUPPORT them.
Gosh! You mean some folks aren’t willing to pay their ‘fair share’?
Shocking!
I won’t turn tail and run away.
Not really. They can print that off any old time. This is about power and power over the people - a financial Berlin wall.
They’ll be shocked one day, when they learn they are part of the TPP....
“I won’t turn tail and run away.”
These people are being chased away. They should be free to live as they wish.
The only people who have a hint of freedom in this country are illegal aliens. They come and go as they please, and are accountable to nobody.
That America allows foreigners to have liberty in America and disallows liberty for America living in foreign countries is beyond bizarre.
It’s not “turning tail and running” for the folks in this story. They are being forced under threat of account confiscation to do this. There is a difference.
On the other hand, the Illegal Aliens swarming over the border from Mexico have it EASY! All they have to do is say one of two code words to stay: “Asylum” or “Obama”. No reporting requirements for THEM!
Excuses for cowards.
When Canada does the same they can run away from there too. LOL
As the US evolves into a globalist totalitarian state, I think that there will soon be a big market for fake IDs, fake passports, documents, identities.
The big issue will be overcoming biometrics, digital tracking.
--Thomas Jefferson
They're all border babies, huh...?
Nope.
So you are in effect saying that the US government owns its citizen-slaves?
I think I’m missing some parts of what’s going on here. American citizens who live in another country, even if they have no bank accounts in America, or tax liability to America, are still required to pay some fees based on filing of financial information? And banks in other countries are enforcing IRS regulations, and the IRS is able to take their money? Am I understanding this properly? I must be missing something.
